I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location right by the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the friendly staff. However, the service could be inconsistent at times, and the dining experience was somewhat lacking in variety. Overall, it's a good value for money, especially with the beautiful surroundings.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts a fantastic location just minutes from the airport and right on a beautiful coral reef. The room was nice and large, but I did feel a bit of a lack of privacy between rooms. The staff was outstanding and very accommodating, helping us secure reservations at top restaurants on short notice. Dining could have been better, as I felt certain meals were a bit underwhelming. Overall, this place offers good value for money, although some aspects didn't quite meet the five-star expectations.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which boasts a spectacular location just 5 minutes away from the airport and ferry terminal. The beach area is stunning with amazing snorkeling right off the shore. The rooms were in the midst of some renovations, which made for a bit of noise during the day, but they were clean and had a nice view of the other bungalows. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my experience much more enjoyable. However, I did find the dining options a bit limited and not very varied, which was a downside.

7.4/10

I had a great time at this hotel, especially the overwater bungalows, which really are worth every penny due to the incredible snorkeling right beneath them. The rooms were large and well-equipped, but I did have some nights where the lizards were a bit noisy. The service was friendly and accommodating, and I loved how close the hotel was to the airport and the beautiful coral reefs. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and the location felt a bit cramped compared to other places on the island.

8.0/10

I had a pleasant stay overall with this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, right on one of the best beaches on the island. The staff was friendly and always eager to help. However, the room we got wasn't quite ready when we arrived, and I felt like they were charging for a lot of extra services. It could definitely improve in that area, but if you're looking for a beautiful beach experience, this place is definitely worth considering.

Rooms

The facilities were nice, with a lovely pool area, but some amenities required additional fees, which felt like it missed out on offering better value for money.
