Reviews and Ratings
The resort is a lovely place with a nice view of the next-door villa from my corner room; however, the bustling FireGrill restaurant could be a bit overwhelming at times. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the high guest volume made it feel a bit too busy. The location is stunning, offering breathtaking sunset views and a beautiful beach for snorkeling. The dining experience was good but not exceptional, with the highlight being the breakfast buffet. Overall, a beautiful location but with a few crowded spots to look out for.
Our stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and some areas for improvement. The rooms were spacious, which was great, but they seemed a bit tired compared to expectations. The service was friendly, and while there were some areas that could use improvement, the manager even waived a compulsory fee for us. The location was stunning and provided a serene atmosphere, but there were some exceptional spots that were missed. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good variety of options, although there were some unmet expectations. Overall, the hotel offers a good value for money proposition with its amenities and facilities.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were well-equipped with modern amenities, including a TV, WiFi, shower, bathtub, bottled water, fruit bowl, and even a complimentary bottle of wine. However, some maintenance could be improved due to the high standards of the hotel. The outside shower room was a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean, and had a terrace that added a lovely touch. The service was top-notch with very friendly staff offering helpful advice. The location in a lush palm grove was simply spectacular, adding to the overall peaceful ambiance. The dining experience was excellent, offering a delightful variety of dishes. However, some areas could use renovation to enhance the experience.
