The resort is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The paragliding to the resort was the best addition to the experience. The rooms are huge and private pools are awesome.

The only negative to this resort is that absolutely everything is SO expensive. There is no reasonable alternative for meals or snacks. Activities are so expensive as well. If you book for $1000 a night, it will likely be another $1000 per day for food and maybe one cheap activity. If you plan to use the spa or do more activities, this will escalate quickly

I loved how attentive they were since we were traveling with young children. Upon arrival the children received custom bracelets with their names on them and upon entering the villa we were provided with an extra bed and crib as well as a small bathtub for my toddler. In the restaurants they have special kids buffets such that they can eat right away. The staff are also quite friendly with the children. The villa was spacious and clean. There were plenty of pools to swim in (fresh water and salt water) and the beach was well taken care of. The resort felt empty yet full in a good way.

The only con of this resort is the distance to get here. We flew in from Dubai international airport and had to drive about 2.5 hours to get to the resort. The last bit of the trip were on mountains which can be nauseating for some people but it was only about 15 minutes of this. But the hotel did provide transportation and it was quite comfortable.

The mood, the set up, the villa.. the landscape and the design of the resort were so nice..

The fnb was outrageously expensive. The resort is high end and deserves to be highly priced but the food, the drinks, the dinners were so overpriced and the quality does not justify the price.

Breakfast was one of the best we've had anywhere with a wide variety of foods including lots of healthy options. In addition to an a la carte menu of freshly prepared dishes they have a wide range of homemade juices, smoothies, overnight oats, cheeses and honey, as well as fruits and freshly baked breads and pastries. We loved the villa, especially the outdoor shower.

Given the resort's emphasis on health and wellness we would have liked to be offered more complimentary yoga, meditation and fitness options. The price of some of these optional extras was prohibitive. The beach was badly affected by tar and it was impossible to walk on it without getting our feet covered in it. Luckily the resort has free Oil Slick wipes to help clean it off. We were assured this was only a temporary issue so maybe we just got unlucky.

What a fabulous trip. Incredible attention to detail, wonderful facilities, great accommodating staff. Truly a treat. More access to a golf buggy would have been helpful with three small kids at one of the further away villas. Also perhaps in the context of the significant expense not charging for water sports (kayaks etc) would be a nice touch. The food pricing was very expensive but excellent, so value was there but to have a slightly more paired back ‘experience’ menu would be a good idea.

Great setting, tranquil and relaxing, well organised and had a rustic charm. Beach amazing.

Average service in the restaurants, often had to remind staff to bring drinks ordered, uncomfortable seating in restaurants. Room had a musty smell and dirty windows.

One of the best places I have ever visited

My last visit was 10 years ago, it needs some maintenance in the room however still good I’ve been 3 times before and they always offered us late check out, this time without a heads up they were at our door waiting for us to leave which I thought was a bit rude , I even told the butler my husband will pray and she said no let him pray outside the room and you have to leave now - which is totally unacceptable

I like the hotel very much. We spend good holidays with my family. First of all the road is very interesting and exiting! Nice villa, very comfortable with sea view. Children liked kids club very much! Nice nature. We booked boat, I recommend to do it for all guests. Bicycles are for the all guests near the villas. Long and wide Beach. All those leaving walked barefoot. Recommend it.

Prices for food higher than I expected

People were fantastic - warm and hospitable. Excellent Food, breakfast Lunch Dinner Commend the organisation of pick up and drop off at the border. Excellent Magician and Indian dancing. Loved the New year party and the team were exceptional. The games and journey to dinner was great. The lighting of the lanterns was memorable and special. Exceptional Buffet and drinks thank you.

Band and ballroom dancing was a little off, for a resort of this standard.

Loved the setting on a gorgeous beach, the staff was lovely and attentive.

The rooms feel a bit dated and the food prices are too high in the various restaurants when you add it to a very high room rate.
