Fabulous size rooms with twin queen beds. Swimming pool with slide and access to beach was added attractions. Fun activities lined up for the kids to pass the entire day Love the location as its close to central mall where we would go for dinner everyday. I wish the property could serve us with more vegetarian food options and egg free breads

We are a pure vegetarian family travelling with my two years old. I have specifically selected this resort for its vegetarian menu and the kids amenities. I am sorry to say that we were utterly disappointed with the service. We have been to many 5 stars and 7 stars and we have specifically asked the chefs at various places to prepare separate vegetarian menu and they were happy to do it. And actually did it with the whole heart. But here, we were starved. There was a huge communication gap. The people here are so rude. Spending so much here was not worth at all. Read less

This place did not disappoint. We stayed in a plunge pool room, and it was amazing. The room, the staff the included breakfast was all great. The pool's, gardens and surrounding areas were all spotless and well maintained. The beach beautiful as it is cleaned daily by the hotel, it was private with no one selling anything.
