Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing time at the hotel. The room was spacious with a huge bed and day bed, and the private deck with sun loungers was a highlight. However, I had an allergic reaction to an undisclosed ingredient in the pizza. The room itself was well-furnished with all the necessary amenities and a comfortable king bed. Overall, a great stay despite the allergy incident.
The hotel rooms here are more reasonably priced and still amazing, although it would have been nice to have a free bottle of water daily. The service was attentive overall, with a few minor hiccups. The location is great, although some areas could use a facelift. The dining experience was satisfying but somewhat predictable.
The hotel offered a unique room with a glass window to watch the fish on the reef below, although it appeared a bit tired. The American Breakfast provided a hearty start to the day for our physical activities. However, we encountered muddy water contamination from a nearby building site the next morning.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms were absolutely stunning with a loft bedroom, a convenient coffee pod maker, and a private deck with direct access to the ocean. However, the bright temperature display in the room could be a bit disruptive at night.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were super spacious and very cozy, offering a stunning view of the water bungalows. However, the check-in process was a bit underwhelming with a lack of thorough explanations. The location was perfect, close to markets and restaurants, although the in-room 'fridge' was a letdown. Dining was not exceptional and quite expensive, but the freshly baked croissants were a highlight.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable with a glass panel in the floor to watch the fish, a bathroom with a bath and shower, a coffee machine for those early mornings, and a fridge for chilled sundowners on the deck. However, the traffic noise from the busy street at the front of the hotel could be bothersome. The service was friendly and warm, although there were a few hiccups. The location was very convenient, within walking distance to town and with great dining options nearby. The dining experience was just what I wanted, although the fruit selection was limited. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
