The room was excellent very spacious water supplied. Cold scented towels and refreshing beverages. Staff was amazing we stayed in the ocean wing but even in the garden wing they was helpful whenever we went over there. Massive bath on the balcony had bubble baths. Was there for as part of my Honeymoon with my wife. Had a Gazibo dinner outside on the sand which was so romantic also

Enjoyed the pool a lot. It is clean and I can see the staff took care to maintain the pool cleanliness everyday. At certain hours there are pool exercises conducted by the staff with music. So relaxing by poolside. Evening swim during sunset is lovely.

I coildn't recommend this hotel more. My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful stay. The facilities were excellent and all very clean and it is positioned in a lovely quiet location outside the city centre, making for a wonderful relaxing stay with everything you need on site. What made the hotel really standout, though, was the quality of the staff. They were all extremely polite, knowledgeable and helpful. A particular thank you to Izah, Isaac, Nicholas and Edith!

It was almost the perfect short holiday. Almost... Those looking for peace and a place of pure relaxation, this hotel is ideal. Excellent conditions, adequate cleanliness, well equipped, great staff, a large, private beach, great pools and surrounded by nature... From breakfast to dinner, excellent quality meals and food. And everything is very well organized. We were upgraded for a very reasonable price to the Ocean Wing – larger rooms with a jacuzzi. Amazing.
