We had a great stay! The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options, and the beach club was definitely a highlight. The only thing that could be improved was the check-in process, which was a bit slow and not very organized. But overall, the hotel is great, and we would definitely stay here again!

My son and I stayed for about 6 days. We had a blast! The room was as portrayed on the website with a balcony that was larger than we expected. The sea view was amazing. The garden well kept and immaculate. Breakfast exceeded our expectations. And every single member of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We have been on the island a number of times and this was the best experience we’ve had so far. (Plse do something about the pigeons during breakfast though)

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is nice and well kept, staff are helpful and the breakfast options were plentiful. The two pools are nice especially the man made beach pool by the beach club. The only set back for me was the rental of the beach area every night for the week we were there to a private event. Music rattled our room every night till 1 or 2 am. On one of the nights was a fireworks show right outside our building. This really is the only complaint which ofc I assume is a one off situation.

(+): Excellent staff; clean scented rooms; clean grounds; very good breakfast buffet; efficient and helpful staff in maintenance and at front desk. I asked for a tour of the property, so i can recommend the property, and i got a very nice tour. (-): The property is ok. I have been in two rooms and they were scented with a different fragrance in each room. I didn't reserve a fragrant room. Its not healthy for me to sleep 8 hrs inhaling anything other than oxygen. In about 15 minutes my nose become desensitized to the fragrance and only when you go outside and return do you realize that the scent is still there. This olfactory fatigue is a no no for me, not to mention that when i got home, my clothes was infused with that fragrance. .. I tried the restaurant's bar and ordered 'jerk chicken bowl' and 'grilled seabass'. I got a tea cup size of rice and twelve popcorn size pieces of plain chicken...not jerk chicken. The price point is 31.50 naf. The grilled sea bass dish was a tea cup of rice, tea cup of greens, and small pieces of a white fish covered with a white sauce. The fish wasn't grilled. The price point 42 naf. See image of receipt above. The price points for both items didn't match the portions, quality or taste. This is unacceptable. The hotel needs more labeling on the buildings or the cobblestone. I was lost three times finding my way back to block 7...and i wasn't the only one. Its an excellent place, for folks 25 to 45 years old..its an active space, IMHO.
