Deborah Veevers
We loved the Residence - Villa and location are beautiful but it’s the staff that make it extra special. Our Villa cleaned daily by lovely caring staff and the Dinning Room Manager is rightly very proud of his exceptional team , we were treated to a candlelit dinner on the beach on our 40th wedding anniversary and waiters made us a cake and sang to us - such a memorable day. Thanks to everyone for looking after us especially Martha who made us feel special.

Lily Baffour
The Villas, service and attention to detail is IMPECCABLE! Thank you Florah and team for your amazing hospitality. I will surely continue to use and book your establishment. Most importantly share with my team and as many people I can. I look forward to visiting again.

Paul Thomas
Beautiful hotel in amazing grounds. Rooms are amazing with large private pool and perfect sea views. Service top notch especially Ahmed in reception who was brilliant, perhaps We will see him in Syria one day! Food was good but breakfast could be better. Beach looks great but not good for swimming. Loved the bonfire and band at Sundown. This is a good solid 5 star resort in a remote but beautiful setting.

Spent a pleasant 10 days here for my grandfather's 80th with my family, this place deserves 6 stars. They went above and beyond for his birthday celebration and catering for him. Top tier food and drinks at the pavilion. Our rooms were cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels provided as well. Very impressed with the bathroom and the fact that each villa comes with its own pool to beat the heat. The main swimming pool was very clean and had complimentary ice cream every afternoon (my favorite past time while I was staying there) There were plenty of other activities that they had, too many to mention in fact but the standout ones for myself were the jetskis, kayaking, sunset cocktails at either the beach bar or the jeti bar and the library was another place I spent a lot of time in. On a special note I had a bit of a medical emergency (dislocated shoulder) and the resorts doctor was quick to react and made sure I was fine, very impressed and pleased with that. All in all don't read the bs reviews left by some very bitter people, I'm shocked to see that people didn't enjoy their stay. Do yourself a favor and become a resident at the residence, you will not regret it.

One of the best vacations we had. And to reinforce my perception, we had to change hotels in the middle due to availability and the second hotel in the north of the island was more expensive and very bad experience. The entire staff make sure you are enjoying and resting. Special kudos to Ko, that checked with us all the time how was everything and helped us check in earlier w our son sleeping because of the flight hours. We enjoyed the water sports ( they have a Hobie Cat, caiaques and stand up paddle available and inclusive); the food was delicious and well done; the yoga sessions inclusive also was the highlight and the pool in the room and the one I. The main area amazing! Again thanks for the amazing experience! I hope to come back one day!
