Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers traditionally decorated rooms with beautiful thought and space to relax, featuring a large four-post bed, lounge area, spacious bathroom, and a lovely balcony. The rooms are big, clean, and equipped with great air conditioning. The service is friendly and service-oriented, catering to various needs. The location is central, providing a lovely atmosphere a bit separated from the beach area for protection from high tide. The dining experience offers a good variety with daily changes. The facilities are well-maintained and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, nice, and clean with a lovely view of the sea, offering a comfortable king-size bed. The location was great, but activities outside the resort were limited. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff like Christina, Peter, Rosemary, Rama, and a friendly manager, Riyab. The dining experience was good overall, except for the watered-down mango juice. The hotel facilities were modern and convenient.
The hotel offers fabulous rooms kept spotlessly clean with great amenities like air conditioner, fridge, TV, big bed, and a big balcony with a fantastic view. A special touch was the birthday message and chilled champagne awaiting us. The service was friendly and welcoming, making us feel in good hands. The location, although slightly separated from the beach area, provided a protected feel and stunning low tide walks with educational village walks nearby. The dining experience was fantastic with ample and tasty options, though slightly repetitive. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort.
I had a wonderful stay at the resort with lovely and spacious rooms, a good choice of food and restaurants, and a nice selection of drinks on the all-inclusive menu. The service was top-notch, the location was amazing, and the dining experience was enjoyable overall.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. It's located on a hill, offering stunning views, and the themed dinners were a nice touch. The well-manicured gardens added to the serene ambiance. However, limited dining choices were a bit of a letdown.
