The location is absolutely stunning, right on the shores of the Indian Ocean. We were mesmerized by the breathtaking ocean view and the serene environment. The hotel has beautiful gardens and pools that overlook the ocean, providing a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The rooms were spacious and lovely, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The housekeeping was excellent and the staff provided great customer service. We especially want to thank Paula, Maureen, Francis, and the driver for their friendly and helpful service. The hotel also offers a range of facilities, including a restaurant, bar, and even a fitness center. The free Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception were also appreciated. we highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

The location of the hotel was great, providing easy access to nearby attractions. The breakfast options were excellent, offering a variety of delicious dishes. the presence of mosquitoes during our stay was minimal, making our experience more enjoyable.
The state of the road leading to the hotel was quite bad and made it a challenge to get to the hotel. we encountered some issues with the service at reception, with some staff members being rude and unhelpful.

I was kinda surprised by the secluded location of the hotel, making it the perfect place to disconnect from the outside world. Despite the bumpy road, I found the journey to be worth it as it added to the hotel's secluded charm. The spacious rooms were a relief from the heat, and I appreciated the efficient air conditioning. The hotel's extensive territory made it feel exclusive and not crowded at all. I also safety was good with the good security measures in place. The hotel management displayed excellent communication and promptly resolved any concerns I had.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - right on the shores of the ocean with beautiful scenery. The cleanliness of the rooms was fantastic, with spacious layouts and the added bonus of working AC. We loved the set up of the small houses that gave us enough privacy. The hotel facilities were great, with two pools and two bars and restaurants that were very convenient. The staff were also friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. Lastly, we enjoyed delicious breakfasts every morning.
It was all superb.

We loved the serene and secluded location of the hotel, with beautiful ocean views and well-manicured grounds. the housekeeping was exceptional, ensuring our rooms were always spotless and comfortable. the two pool areas were also great for relaxing, and we appreciated the complementary breakfast and free Wi-Fi.
We were disappointed by the lack of basic amenities in some of the rooms, such as a kettle or TV. the food quality was inconsistent, with some dishes being inedible and the al la carte menu being below par.
