Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a relaxing experience surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for leisurely walks even with a toddler. However, the room lacked a view of the beach and was prone to mosquitos, which was a minor inconvenience.
I feel like I found a gem of a location - right by the beach and near some fantastic dining spots. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The dining experience could use a bit more variety, especially for Indian vegetarian options, but overall, the resort shines. The facilities are top-notch, offering me a great value for the money spent.
The hotel offers a great beach location and is recommended for beach lovers despite some room issues. The main restaurant and reception are a bit far, requiring a short walk. The dive center is exceptional, but nighttime walking to the cafeteria can be dark.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although a bit dated, were very comfortable with spacious bathrooms and a private jacuzzi. The service, especially in the main restaurant, was friendly and welcoming. The location was good, and I enjoyed walking around the perimeter of the island. The dining experience was nice, but I wish there were more dishes available. Overall, a small to mid-size resort that offers good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, adequately sized, and very clean, offering a comfortable and spacious experience. The service was done at my convenience, although there was a lack of a sincere apology for a misunderstanding. The location was perfect, being close to amenities and the beach. The dining options were decent with a good variety of food. Overall, a good value for a relaxing holiday.
