The location and the environment is the only good thing in the hotel. The rooms were small (deluxe) and the service is very poor for a five star hotel. We indicated the room service notification but it was not honored. The food was good but very few variations in the buffet compared to other hotels in this budget range.
The place has beach access and a playground area which is nice. Few activities were there such as pool table, chess, table tennis and carom. Swimming pool area was good but small in size and 1.2m deep.

Great Location and the rooms had nice sea view.
Deluxe Sea view rooms are smaller in size but had a nice sea view with a small balcony. Biggest let down was the food buffet and the service. Do not expect 5 star buffet at this hotel despite the name. Again this is subjective. Try it and see yourself :) I cancelled my second night as I didn't find value for money. Cancellation was smooth and duty manager was helpful.

All I can saw is wow.
From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the staff in ceremonial fashion, through to the room, amazing food offerings at the restaurant and the stunning beaches. This place was phenomenal to stay and spend our summer holiday.
The staff were all so welcoming and helpful as far as they could. Sam especially was wonderful everyday he helped us with seating and taking care of us during breakfast and dinners.
Can't wait to come back here again!

Our beach front room had a beautiful view of Indian ocean. Room size is adequate. All amenities were working well. Swimming pool was great.

The overall experience was great from the welcome and check in all the way up to the checking out. The food was delicious and had a lot of variety, the only thing that I hope would've been included in the buffet was a bit more variety of seafood (crabs, lobster and maybe oysters since we are near the sea side and what not 😁). The rooms were great but I do feel like for the triple room that I booked it was a little bit cramped since the single bed was placed in front of the sofa but for a double room the space is really big. The sea views and the beaches were beautiful and the pool was great too. Also I did notice that when we arrived we got handed a list of activities that were taking place each day but I'd see any of these events happening like beach volleyball, magic show and activities at the pool. Maybe it was because we staying during a poya day but I was a little bit let down because of that. But overall I'd rate the experience a 4.5/5 and would definitely be interested in staying again in the future and can gladly recommend anyone else to stay as well.
