The decore in the rooms are very unique. The downside was the bed, it had a shelf surrounding and being short it made it hard to get in and out of bed. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little disappointing with not much selection to choice from. Overall a great experience and would definitely return

The staff are the best and will go above and beyond to assist customers. The breakfast was fine. The location is excellent and within walking distance of most things you would want and need on holiday. The peacocks and other birds that live on the grounds made it a wonderful, unique place to stay. The beds are really not comfortable, unfortunately. Oh, and there seemed to be a shortage of napkins and toilet paper for some strange reason: we did however, find plenty in the shop, some 50 metres from the hotel.

I changed rooms 3 times due to A/C issues, privacy, and also outside noise. No A/C in public areas eg, lobby and breakfast area. I did brought the issues that I experienced with the General manager. As a hotel manager my self, I made some recommendations. I worked for Hilton brand hotels .

Great resort grounds. The room was very comfortable-high ceilings, AC available. Bathroom was nice. Breakfast was a buffet of assorted and delicious foods. Beach accèss was à 2 min walk but nearby had multiple dining options. Only real issue I had was the inefficient check in. Check in which should have been 2min at 1am turned out to be almost 30min due to the receptionist sluggishness choosing to answer the phone instead of attending to us. Also wifii was not the greatest- sporadic and not strong.

The setting is beautiful & quite peaceful.The pool accommodates younger children & is very safe. At weekends there is a fun karaoke night & a bouncy castle for children. Really enjoyed the stay and would definitely return.
