The breakfast was great! I really recommend booking with breakfast. The staff is super friendly as well as the owner that's always around and worried about your needs. It's super close to the beach, and the pool inside the hotel is great. Food and drinks at the hotel are also great :)

Staff was very helpful and food was amazing (especially sea food and grill). Location is great. Good thing is that they served a variety of food items and yet zero wastage. All staff members were so good - reception, animators, grill chef (one of the best squids I had), pasta chef, bartenders, aqua gym, helpers, hotel manager… everyone.

Loved the room and the bathroom. It was spotless! I need my bathroom super clean so I was so satisfied when I saw it was exactly like the picture. Having sea view was superb too. I just sat on the balcony and enjoyed the ocean view.

    Hotel was lovely with delicious food and a really nice area to lie out in the sun. The owners could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend Visiwa Beach Resort.
