- "Everything was perfect, the staff, the food, the property and amenities. Couldn’t be better" - "Fantastic design, exceptional service and perfect location." - "The hotel ambience was incredible . Service was exceptional , I loved the food and the restaurants." - "service and facilities" - "The staff are amazing, they went above and beyond for me during this trip. They recommended amazing restaurants, sourced a guide for our excursions and were 10/10 throughout our stay. We extended our stay because of the brilliant hospitality. The food was excellent, healthy and fresh. Breakfast was brilliant. The view from Our room was stunning. We had two rooms and a part of the corridor was sectioned off with an additional door which allowed us to leave our rooms open and have the main corridor door locked which was an amazing added touch. We got goodies and snacks sent to our room daily and the beach service was also useful. I will definitely return."
