The location was nice, the view was beautiful. The food was really good. The view from the balcony was nice. We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice not worrying about where or what to eat while on vacay, breakfast and dinner were at the hotel.

Tiffanie Germany

Staff was so friendly and the complimentary buffet breakfast was fantastic! Beautiful pool set up and lots of great restaurants in the area.

Jacqueline United States of America

The location, very accessible, the beach is clean and beautiful, you can hire boat tours to the caves if you want to do a little sightseeing. The hotel room was spacious and clean, it had a small kitchen and a terrace with a direct view of the ocean. Perfect place to relax. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, which made the stay extra nice.

Anonymous United States of America

Loved the breakfast buffet. The staff were friendly and good humoured. I was there for my nieces wedding. The wedding planner was terrible. None of us knew what was going on. No one received an advance outline itinerary even. The family group dudnt knew where to congregate and wait before hand. The wedding was at 3.30. She, the wedding planner, didnt even check in with the bride and her bridemaids until 3.15. My brother, the brides father was supposed to be walking the bride down the aisle, the wedding planner had to be told to go and get him, as she had overlooked this too. The music system hadnt even been pre tested and then all was delayed further as they couldn't get to it work. So she had no music to walk down the aisle to. The microphone was sending feedback so had to be discarded, so no one could hear what was being said through the ceremony. The location was lovely.
