Everything! Staff was amazing. They set up excursions for us when we asked and catered to our needs. They cleaned our room twice a day. Food was delicious and plentiful. Views and amenities were beautiful and comfortable.

The staff and the hotel are outstanding. Lovely setup with privacy for every room with private pool and great views of the beach and the sky! Its like living in the arms of nature.

The facilities and staff were just absolutely perfect. Personalized & attentive service. Always went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. Organized our activities and transport with no fuss

We loved every moment of our stay here. The service is fantastic. The rooms are so comfortable. And the setting is heaven. Our favorite resort to date.

We were pleasantly surprised by how remote and isolated the location was. Only 8 guests in total at any one time. The food was excellent and the staff was just the right amount of attentive, friendly & funny. An extra nice touch was coffee delivered to your front door every morning - very serene, sitting on your front veranda, sipping coffee and watching the ocean.

Everything else was exceptional - the views, the staff, the service, the food. Thanks to the amazing staff who go above and beyond to fulfill requests. Thank you Emanuel, Jamal, Moosa and Hassan.

Right from arrival to the very end, we were treated like part of the family...I think the royal family! Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was huge, and super comfy. Restaurant amazing, food was so, so good! Chefs were amazing with everything they did. If you are lucky enough to find an opportunity to stay here...don’t think about it, do yourself a favour and just book it already! Thanks again to Hassan and all the team! Amazing!

The Jua Retreat consists of four luxurious bungalows with a traditional touch overlooking a park like compound directly at the beach. There is a beautiful and well kept large pool in addition to the plunge pools of the bungalows. The staff is extremely cheerful and make all wishes come true. The cooking was unbelievably great. Given their menu they seem to have some Italian background - their homemade Lobster-Tagliatelle is just unbeatable! Whatever we fancied they cooked for us... just like in paradise. We would love to come back - in fact we‘re considering cancelling the next hotel in order to be able to stay longer....

Very tranquill retreat, you can feal very private. Phantastic staff, every wish was filled. Delicious food, big portions, fine cocktails, good beer and wine. No mosquitos! Beatiful garden, very good private plunge pool, but the big pool and the sea are fine as well.

Fantastic spacious rooms complimented by incredible service and food. Utterly relaxing atmosphere with such an intimate location. The staff are relaxed and incredibly helpful. The beds and the rooms are enormous.
