    noisy environment

    Friendly staff made our stay pleasant.

    During our stay, the hotel felt overcrowded and poorly maintained. Broken elements in the room, such as outdated furniture and faulty appliances, left a bad impression. Additionally, noise levels from outside were unbearable at times, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep.

    Overstaffing leads to delays in service, limited beach access and poor sunbed availability!!! The bar's happy hour policy is inconsistent and needs immediate attention!!!

    lagoon pool
    friendly staff
    variety of meals
    uncomfortable walk
    poor air conditioning

    We had a fantastic time hanging out by the meandering lagoon pool and enjoying fun activities like jet skiing. The views were incredible, and the staff made everything seamless, especially when we needed a last-minute birthday cake. The buffet meals offered a ton of variety, including amazing local dishes.

    However, the walk to the restaurants in the heat was a bit uncomfortable, and the air conditioning in the main dining area could definitely be better.

    Exceptional service and stunning location

    I had a delightful stay at this beautiful resort with my family. The staff were incredibly attentive, especially Shalindra, who organized amazing trips and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, with a wide variety that catered to all tastes. One note for improvement would be the need for more shaded areas by the pool for senior guests.

    What shines and what doesn’t

    Exceptional service from Chathuka made every moment delightful, showcasing remarkable attention to detail and genuine care. The varied delicious food options only added to the seamless experience.

    Some amenities felt basic, and the beach area isn't as stunning as expected, leaving room for potential improvement in views and facility upkeep.

    Relaxing Retreat with Potential

    Enjoyed a peaceful stay with attentive staff and a relaxing ambiance. The pool area is ideal for families, but consider reserving a table early as some restaurants have limited hours. The Italian cuisine was impressive, but watch for out-of-stock items.

    I was delighted by the beautiful tropical architecture and serene gardens, which made it easy for me to stroll around the resort without issue. The views from the pools were stunning, providing a perfect escape for relaxation.
