"When I first found this hotel I was a bit concerned that there was only 4 reviews, from the moment of but from the moment of checking in and checking out my experience was wonderful. The staff were very helpful in anything you need, they were always smiling and ready to help in whichever way needed. To be honest i think this place is really beautiful. You are just foot set away from the beach. The breakfast was not a large viarity but it did the job,the food was delicious the roast chicken is a must try. This place needs a little more recognization. Thanks to all the wonderful people who worked there.Great Job!"

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was healthy with all of the food that I was used to. Cleaners came to my room every morning to ask about cleaning my room and to help with washing my dirty clothes for a few pounds. The beach is about five minutes walk from the property and the beach is very clean. The resort pool is very clean and well spaced out, with children pool on one side and the adults on the other side separated by a bridge that leads to the bar. The way the huts are laid out was great it allows for privacy with two bamboo chairs and a table in front of the hut, incase you want to watch the sun go down. Great place, I loved it."
