We enjoyed a week long stay with our family of four. No detail was left out during our time there. Every meal was delectable and dinner buffet was mind blowing. We golfed, rode on the jet skis, played games, relaxed in the pools and did a lot of nothing as well. The night hike was quite exciting too. I’m glad our room had ocean views. We travel a lot and this was by far one of the best experiences had by our entire family. Kid and adult friendly. We will be back! Thank you for the great hospitality.

This hotel is located slightly away from the busy city, offering a serene escape close to nature. At night, you can hear the soothing sounds of crickets, and during the day, birds chirping adds to the tranquil atmosphere, which we truly enjoyed. The garden even hosts snails, adding to the natural charm.
While the hotel isn’t new, it’s evident that the staff work hard to maintain it, especially during peak seasons.
The rooms are clean and come with all the necessary amenities.
Breakfast can feel a bit chaotic, likely due to being understaffed, but the hotel compensates with a wide range of food options catering to tourists from around the world.

Had a two night stay there. The rooms were crisp, clean and fresh. Service was really top notch and loved every bit of it, hospitality I would say is 10/10. The international breakfast buffet is amazing with so much choices. Freshly blended fruit juice and most surprisingly ice cream in the morning!
My only issue is the room not having a bath tub cause we stayed in the least costly one. Other than that the place is perfect!

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We would like to thank Alice, Clifford and Pechy for looking after us and making our stay so special. The food was exceptional. Lots of choice and very tasty. Beautiful pool area and easy access to the beach. The rooms are in need of a freshen-up but when your hotel and location are so beautiful, you don't spend much time in the rooms.
Aspiverance
Top notch service, hotel staff actually care about the comfort of the guests.
Breakfast was amazing, there’s something for everyone.
Room was spacious and comfy. Though, our room didn’t come with a bathtub. Seaview, nice sunset.
Overall good experience, will come back.
