Breakfast was an excellent buffet style. Wonderful tropical fresh fruit, delicious omelette cooked to order with a wide selection of back , grilled tomato etc etc in Bain Marie’s on the side. Delicious coffee brought out very hot to order. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The (NEW) pool is amazing and offers entertainment for people of all ages, incl. a kids pool. Very family friendly (small kids don't pay and they add an additional bed/mattress to the double room), playground, kid's pool, kids play area in the restaurant area, very kids-friendly staff! The resort is beautiful, nice garden and it's small and intimate, yet offers everything one would wish for. We loved everything about the place - it was a perfect vacation! Food is great, too, with a small menu but daily specials that keep changing. Lot's of other restaurant options are also close-by.
Online booking system doesn't show that a small kid can be added to the room at no extra cost.

Great hotel and superb location. The staff are mostly pleasant and the food is beautiful and fresh. There is an extensive sushi and pizza .menu which is excellent. There is a new main pool which is a vast improvement on the old run down one that was there for years. Very relaxed and peaceful location and very informal. Great to see a new manager who engaged with guests and enquires about everyone's welfare. A drastic improvement on the previous and soon to be outgoing manager who was awful
The main menu is a little limited and could be expanded for more snacks foods. There should be more priority for residents at meal times as it can be overrun with locals leaving you high and dry.

The Compound area is green and beautiful, well designed and a view over the ocean more or less from everywhere. Wonderful restaurant/lounge area with chill atmosphere and wonderful view of the ocean both from inside and outside. The food was delicious. A bigger pool and a smaller more private one. Both very clean and the pool areas were well taken care of. Staff were friendly and happy to help. Long beautiful beach. I was there at low season so the winds were stronger, less visibility in the water and more seaweed than during high season. The water and beach were still enjoyable and the beauty of being there off season is less people in general. I did some kite surfing not far away.
The room had quite poor sound insulation, both between rooms and from outside. But the sound of the ocean was relaxing.

Great new swimming pool and fabulous beds and air conditioning in the rooms. The pool bar was very good run by Robert. The food was very well cooked but the main menu is very limited. There is a huge sushi and pizza menu which was superb . Great breakfasts and plenty of great choice. Daniel that did the rooms made animals on the beds from towels which was much appreciated and.amazing. the hotel.is very clean with great staff. A drastic improvement in the management of the hotel which has been very obviously lacking up to now. Claire and her new team are a breath of fresh air !
The booking of sunbeds in the early morning by some guests and ling term guests left us with no where to sit despite the beds being empty for most of the day.. The Sunday lunch which is super, which we avoided this year, tends to be overrun by non residents. There should be more priority for residents that at times are overlooked and forgotten. Nice to see an effective and interested management team rather than the current manager that ignores most guests and sits on the bar drinking believing he is a guest himself

We stayed for a week in the ocean view room. Absolutely beautiful hotel, one of the most beautiful I have ever stayed in. Immediately on the beach with a beautiful sunset. Arriving to a coconut water drink and breakfast was a lovely touch. Our room was beautiful. Air con and mosquito net was very good. Room cleaned every day with fresh bed sheets and linen. Worth paying for an ocean view room if you can. The food was amazing throughout the week. You could choose from a range of fresh meat/seafood/veggie dishes but also fresh sushi and poke bowls. All top quality food. Menu changed every day so never got bored. Lots of places to sit and relax. Two pools with lots of sun beds and space. Very quiet throughout the resort. It is a slightly more ‘chilled out’ resort than some of the neighbouring hotels which we absolutely loved. You met lots of people and was very sociable. If you’re into sport, they are happy to show anything you want on the TVs (premier league/six nations etc etc). Staff overall very friendly and welcoming, happy to help with reservations/recommendations/taxis. Service generally very good and attentive. Overall do not HESITATE to stay here. The pictures do not do this place justice. We had the trip of a lifetime.
Only negative - getting a reservation for dinner at a good table spot could be difficult as often the table would be reserved for the whole evening meaning you may not be able to sit at a good spot. We often wanted to eat at 6pm and would be told we had to sit at the back of the restaurant with no sea view (despite the fact the sea view tables weren’t occupied until 8pm if not later). However I suppose you could reserve a table you wanted earlier and be a bit more organised.

What a charming hotel! Amazing staff, superb little rooms, comfy, cool aircon, gorgeous gardens and a wonderful big pool plus lovely big open breezy terraces for cocktails, meals, or socialising - all set right on the magnificent silky white sandy beach.
Nothing. It was lovely.

Breakfast was great and plenty of it. Our room was basically furnished it spotlessly clean and comfortable. Great air conditioning. Tea or coffee delivered each morning. The staff were all great. Lovely plunge pool area. The food in the bar is exceptional and so lovely to sit by the sea for dinner in a cool breeze. Great vibe
The sunbeds could do with updating and the breakfast room although open sided was very hot. Fans would’ve made it more comfortable. Small things that didn’t distract from our enjoyment.

Loved the beachfront vibes. The pool area is perfect for relaxing, and the staff are genuinely kind. The food was decent, and the property’s layout is beautifully done. For adventure seekers, they offer a range of water sports: scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, and more.
The breakfast was the same everyday. A switch up would be nice to break the monotony.

The location was good as it was centrally located. The property was beautiful and very well kept and clean. The pool was very nice.
The beach was dirty and full of seaweed and garbage- no one cleaned it and going in the water was not enjoyable. Breakfast could have been included different choices on different days (it was exactly the same every day)
