The resort itself is as the pictures misrepresentative portray. The grounds and pool were nice. We booked this resort for a once-in-a-lifetime trip with our children and grandchildren for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

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.

This hotel was wonderful. The pools were always clean and the infinity pool at the end was beautiful. The staff & service were exceptional. They were accomodating and were very friendly. They decorated our suite with beautiful flowers for a birthday that was being celebrated. It was such a lovely surprise and there was a lot of effort put into it. The breakfast was always good with many options to choose from at the buffet. You could also order off the menu at any time.

    Very friendly staff. We were warmly hosted by Joseph, who accommodated us and answered all our queries during our stay. The resort is a walking distance to the beach and amenities like a supermarket and pharmacy.

    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.
