Quiet, peaceful, clean hotel beach resort

From the outside of the beach hotel resort, to the lobby and then the entire surrounding of the hotel area itself were very amazing and the rooms were highly comfortable. The restaurant area was nicely decorated and the foods were made cooked to order. Moreover, fresh ingredients were used and the taste were mouth watering delicious in every bite. At night, the lights lit up the entire hotel property. The pools sparkled with cleanliness and the sound of nature made it so peaceful. I wanted to stay longer, but had to return back to the USA to be with my kids. Hands down this has been one of the best clean beach hotel resorts I have vacationed at period. Love it!

The decore in the rooms are very unique. The downside was the bed, it had a shelf surrounding and being short it made it hard to get in and out of bed. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little disappointing with not much selection to choice from. Overall a great experience and would definitely return

The staff are the best and will go above and beyond to assist customers. The breakfast was fine. The location is excellent and within walking distance of most things you would want and need on holiday. The peacocks and other birds that live on the grounds made it a wonderful, unique place to stay. The beds are really not comfortable, unfortunately. Oh, and there seemed to be a shortage of napkins and toilet paper for some strange reason: we did however, find plenty in the shop, some 50 metres from the hotel.
