    beautiful gardens
    fantastic breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    We had a wonderful time appreciating the beautiful gardens and indulging in the fantastic breakfast each morning. The outdoor swimming pool and beach access were perfect for unwinding under the sun. Just keep in mind that the air conditioning in the room was a bit noisy at night.

    amazing staff
    beautiful beach

    Our stay was lovely! The beach was just fine, great soft sand and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Abdu at reception, it was like he was expecting us. And the food? Oh man, we tried this amazing tailor-made pasta cooked by chef Abdul at Spices, it blew my mind.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but still pretty reasonable.

    friendly staff
    beautifully designed
    amazing breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    We enjoyed beach volleyball and canoe trips, making our days perfect. The place is beautifully designed, and the staff is super friendly. Breakfast was top-notch, and Gabbi beach had great vibes. Just a heads up, though, reserve the oceanview restaurant early if you're planning to eat there.

    Although our overall stay was fun, the noise from the air conditioning made it hard to sleep at times.

    unreliable service

    Unexpected challenges but great staff

    The staff truly went above and beyond, greeting us with warmth and tailoring meals for our allergies. The beachside restaurant offered delightful dishes with stunning views.

    However, we faced multiple issues with our room, from a demagnetized key card to a malfunctioning air conditioning unit, which made our stay somewhat uncomfortable.

    beautiful gardens but room noise could improve

    The gardens throughout the resort were stunning and nicely maintained. All staff were cheerful and always ready to help which made our stay enjoyable. We especially loved the sea view from the breakfast area, it was a lovely way to start the day.

    The noise from the air conditioning in our room was quite bothersome at times.

    food quality concerns
    cleanliness issues

    The property offers beautiful amenities and stunning views, especially from the beach suite. However, service delays at the pool bar and some issues with food quality during breakfast were noticeable. Ideal for families looking for a spacious, relaxed spot, but be ready for potential wait times and some cleanliness concerns in the dining areas.

    We had an incredible four-night stay! The sea-facing room was spacious with an amazing outdoor shower. Dining was a highlight, especially the diverse themed buffets each evening. The private beach access was beautiful and relaxing!

    Amazing service and beautiful location!

    I had a wonderful 4-night stay with my family. The staff were incredibly helpful, always greeting us with a smile, making us feel right at home. The beach and grounds were stunning, providing a perfect vacation ambiance. One aspect to improve would be the variety of dining options, as they seemed somewhat limited at times.
