The overall experience at the hotel was great, according to my parents’ feedback. However, there was a booking issue—I accidentally reserved two king rooms for three people instead of four. As a result, they charged us an extra fee for the additional person, even though the rooms were well within capacity. From my experience in other countries, hotels usually don’t charge extra as long as the number of guests doesn’t exceed the room limit. So this felt a bit unreasonable—almost like they were trying to take advantage of us. We ended up paying an extra $40. It’s not a huge amount, but it left a bad impression.

Lovely stay!

Loved my stay. I wasn't around during the day so I can't comment on the renovation noise but the pool wasn't busy and in a lovely spot. My room had the best view and the hotel staff was constantly checking in on how things were going and wanted to know if they could do anything to make my stay better. I would absolutely stay again!

I stayed there for 3 nights and I did not see house keeping. I notified front desk about it and was told house keeping will be there shortly. What a lie that was. The first night I was there , I was told I could not eat in the restaurants because they had reservations. I have never heard such a thing. They don’t have variety of food either.

We are repeat customers and we’ve always had a great experience here! Excellent customer service, beautiful facilities, and great food on-site with incredible scenery. Watching the sunrise through a sea view window is worth a visit by itself! The only critique I’d have is that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower/bath, but you do have a kettle available if need be. Besides that, this is a hotel I’d recommend for a true luxury experience!

Had the Moroccan scrub and massage - felt wonderful but I was a little worried about all the water wasted. The room was also a bit cool - might have been nice for it to be lightly steamy (like a mild sauna).
