Nice hotel with a few issues

Lovely property with big pools and easy access to the beach. Rooms were spacious and issues were attended to promptly. We enjoyed the coordinated activities like aqua aerobics and volleyball Meals were nice but of limited variety. Great nightly entertainment

Wonderful hotel , great pool, very friendly staff. Good food and each evening a new highlight of attraction. We felt awesome all the time. Only be aware that there are times you cannot swim in the ocean due to low tide. But pool is open all the time.

Amazing, luxury, 5 star! Perfect

Such an amazing private hotel with private beach front. The staff is out of this world and soooo kind! The managers? My goodness made sure we were entertained, fed and tended to us carefully. This is the best resort ever and I plan on coming back soon. The pool and rooms so clean with fresh linen daily’. The buffet is 15/10✨✨

Great resort with exceptional service.

Clean well presented rooms with great pool facilities. The staff were provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. A special thanks to Chef Juma and Chef Charles which were able to accommodate our special vegetarian food requirement with a smiling face, and nothing was too much trouble. The evening entertainment was enjoyable.
