I have travel to many beach resorts. By far this was the best place I have stayed at. What made the stay fun and enjoyable was the staff. Every employee was friendly and outgoing. The front desk was very helpful. Answered any question and was helpful. I could name people but it would be to many, everyone was great. Would love to come back one day.

We had wonderful holiday at Kendwa Rocks. Our villa was amazing and looks way better then on photos. The Full Moon Party is a great experience although I'd love to hear more international music. Beautiful beach with lots of entertainment options. Hope to be back one day! Thanks for having us.

Handy for Full Moon Party -wouldn't pick otherwise

Pros: - Great to stay onsite for Full Moon Party and be able to nip back to room during the night - Full moon party was fun and ticket price was included in stay - Beach is nice with plenty of sunloungers - nice to have regular staff service for food & drinks at sunlongers - easy location to get a taxi to CoccoBello for another party night Cons: - Shower water was only lukewarm so couldn't properly enjoy a shower - asked to have it fixed and it was not done - got the impression that it couldn't be improved? - wifi was almost useless - no wifi coverage in bedroom and again was told this was normal and it doesn't stretch to cover all rooms - wifi very intermitted and bad even in communal areas - room smelt musky / bad throughout - breakfast was quite basic / limited for such a big resort and more expensive cost of stay

The property was uniquely situated on a hill which added to its beauty. However, being on a hill made for a long and not so pleasant walk to the beach. My room was also located on the 2nd floor...uggh more walking. The staff was friendly and efficient. I would like to mention Marie who worked in the restaurant...very helpful. I enjoyed the amenities and would come back. I would get a room located closer to the beach though. The Full Moon Party was a plus to my experience...Kendwa Rocks...yes it does!
