Location is nice, the staff is very helpful and polite, the food is good but not that great. Fun hotel with free activities. Free parking.
There were a lot of insects in the room

Perfect place to unwind and relax. They have board games, a book exchange, beach games, lovely pools and great private spaces by the bungalows to relax. The snorkelling trip we planned with them was great, and the staff were all lovely. Highly recommend! The mosquito net worked well and they sprayed the rooms with repellant while we were at dinner each night
Nothing! A few things to be aware of - but none impacted our stay. If we went again we would take our own snorkelling kit, but they provide swim shoes to protect against the urchins so we didn’t need those. They also don’t have reliable WiFi, and there isn’t ac - but the fan and opening the door in the evening was plenty to cool it down

Such friendly staff and amazing location on the beach! Breakfast was amazing every morning and all meals at the restaurant too. The reef walk as well as Farah’s yoga class were excellent
The service at the restaurant takes a while as other reviews have said. Echoing other reviews as well, the dolphin tour didn’t feel the most ethical with boats chasing them down
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
All day breakfast, Very nice massages, good cocktails, nice reef walk and yoga, the managers seem to take feedback seriously (after we gave our feedback the manager approached us and talked about it. We received a small refund - 115$ from the 2690$ we paid, so... 4,27%. But if they improve for the next travellers it's also good)
-Horrible beach (constant harassment to buy crap while relaxing on the beach chair even with the hotel security present, full with algae, 0 possibility to swim).
-very long waiting times for food at the restaurant and not always received what we ordered
-stained towels (we went 2 times at the reception to ask for new ones, received new ones the 3rd time after we brought the dirty ones to the reception).
-It gets very very very hot in the bungalow, no AC
