The hotel was the highlight of our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the room was spotless, and it's within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The complimentary drinks and breakfast were excellent. I highly recommend it; it has a family-friendly atmosphere and is very peaceful.

I’m sad writing this review as our week at Alaya has come to an end. It was a magical trip highlighted with the most beautiful hotel and the kindest most wonderful staff. Silvestre, Daniel, Mitsubishi, Stephan, Jonathan, Hugo, Macario and everyone else added to the magic! At the press of a button our every need was attended to with a smile and they made our trip so special. We travel frequently and love exploring new destinations but we already agreed we will be back next year. The beach, the room and the location all could not have been any better. We dined at Michelin rated restaurants as well as food trucks, all walking distance and it was all amazing! Thank you to the lovely staff and we will see you again next year.

We absolutely loved it here! It’s beachfront, & the beach & sun lounges were amazing. You can order food & drinks from the beach - there are servers there. The breakfast was very good. We had the family room with 2 twin beds & the main bed is definitely a full size bed & not the advertised queen. The aircon worked really well. It did take the shower a little while to heat up tho’. They provide robes, but no slippers. The whole property is very rustic as you can see. It was a great stay. I do think it can use a smidge of a refurbishment tho - really just the bathroom sink & shower, but yes, we would stay again.

If you’re looking for a quiet retreat this is not the place . We were in the garden room right next to the kitchen. I heard the kitchen utensils and pots and pans, banging until late into the evening when the kitchen closed and then early in the morning and late at night I could hear children, crying, and scream screaming around us. More of a family retreat. There was only one restaurant on site however, if you wanted to go and choose other restaurants, you could walk along the streets and find other restaurants. It was just a little inconvenient.
