The hotel has a warm and homely feel,the welcome experience was great from Mr Urfi and his amazing reception Staff..the food was mouthwatering and the staff was attentive to detail and friendly.Food quality was fresh and tasty,with a variety of food for everyone.I could never have asked for a better place to spend my vacation.This is a world class resort and more than a five-star resort.Will definitely be back.

Sabine Pelka
They cancelled our booking one month before our stay. We received the message via our booking platform (voyage privee). We contacted the hotel immediately but they didnt have the decency to reply.

What a fabulous resort with the most welcoming of people. Loved our holiday experience from the moment we stepped foot inside. A welcome drink and cool towel was a nice touch and they even had a room we could get changed in before the 3pm check in. Great food service, and the local food was delicious. The hotel maids were first class. They did a night time spray to keep the mosquitos away which was lovely. I won’t say much about the area or setting, just look at the photos and that says it all. I can’t wait to return!

Ray Ward
Rooms were good apart from the very firm mattresses. We changed mattress to get some sleep better than sleeping on a bench. Food was generally good, with fresh fish, curry nights with smiling waiters including Rose. Drinks were better than most hotels that we have stayed at and a special mention for Robin and Happy. Super location, but with daily pestering from beach sellers if venturing onto beach. Use of next door BlueBay hotel was good giving a variety of loungers with parasols, canopies, daybeds and tree shade; good evening entertainment made for a good stay.
