The staff was absolutely amazing! They were friendly, courteous and helpful. Roberto that works the resort restaurant is an absolute gem. Always made sure I was well taken care of. If it's a massage you need, I highly recommend Yana. She manages to strike the perfect balance between a gentle, soothing massage and a deep sports massage. Finally, you must have a chat with Simon. You will find him at the reception as he oversees operations. He can provide you with a multitude of places to visit, restaurants to eat wherever your next destination takes you! Thankyou everyone for a great time 😁 Michael

The beach front chalet was lovely, step out of the chalet and you were on the beach. The beach was quite stony and rocky though, but still quite pleasant. We had the breakfast only option, which was ok as buffets go. They could upgrade their dining area however, which felt really dark. There was also a bit of an unpleasant smell around the reception and dining area, perhaps the mops need changing. One lady and a younger man in particular on reception were very friendly and helpful, but can’t say the same of the other gentleman on reception. The place was continuously being cleaned by staff, clearing bins, sweeping the sand etc. A really pleasant stay and would recommend.

After the first night we had multiple bed bug bites, whereafter we asked to be moved to a different bungalow. First they “cleaned” the room (it took 5 minutes) whereafter we asked again to be moved. We got a new place but same problem. Ended up with 94 bites on one of us and fever on the rest. Left the island two days earlier than planned and had to buy new ferry tickets and hotel somewhere else. The first place got new guests as soon as we moved out!! Hotel is worn compared to some of its neighbors and service is so so. Not particularly clean all together. We got two good dives in though. A shame we couldn’t get more.

Lovely place to go for a short break. It maybe a 3-star (I think) resort but you would not realize as the service is 5-star. The food is amazing in the resort. Simple breakfast and I had their well cooked porridge everyday. In the evenings, the grill and even their buffet was good and affordable. Just outside the resort, there are a few shops for local food. Visited a Chinese place and a Malay food shop. Overall, great place to free the mind and get better and greater ideas.

The location is amazing and set in a beautiful shallow beach which is stunning. The hotel itself is run down and in need of an overhaul. We are not overly fussy and enjoyed our time swimming and just hanging around but don’t come with high expectations of a 4 star resort.

The location is sensational - right on the beach with easy access from the jetty. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, with great customer service. The place is a little run down - not surprising after Covid - and needs a bit of TLC, but the management are working hard to bring it back to its former glory and it just needs more guests to help fund their efforts. The food isn't the best, but everything else makes up for it. Highly recommend.
