In all my years of traveling for work, Kurma's staff was really the most attentive and fun people I have interacted with. They are truly its crown jewels. Unfortunately, due to my schedule to do work on the island, I didn't get to try free diving which I hope to do next time I visit. The overall resort vibe is a welcome relief to the noise and pollution of city living. Ohhh and we're not vegetarians but the food here is delicious!!!!

The aircon in our room was not suitable to the size of the room.

We love the staff. They are very accomodating.

They need to have a complimentary toilletries. That would be nice if they also have a electric kettle in the room.

great beachfront location. friendly and helpful staff and owners. good breakfast. wifi is available but below average. the also offer free diving courses.

place hasn’t been maintained during the lockdown and is in need of renovation.

Good and respectful staff

The beef tapa breakfast is good

Almost everything * the room is smelly, old, not maintained and dirty * the toilet is not working and the water has this rusty smell * no TV - the manager said it was not mentioned in their website * weak wifi * no HOT water available for consumption or even a small kettle in the room

The staffs are very friendly and welcoming. It felt like I was coming home instead of staying at a beach lodge.

There's nothing that I didn't like about Kurma Eco Beach Lodge.

Large bathroom with hot shower and bidet. Comfy beds. I also love their pet Toffee. He's very welcoming and sweet to all of the guests. I also love the location of the hotel because its very near to the Ferry Terminal of White Island so we just DIY'ed it. And also we get to watch an unobstructed view of the Sunset.

The aircon is quite slow enough to cool the entire room. But all in all its a very good stay!

I had breakfast EXCEPT on the first day.
