There are also plenty of shaded spots and private cabana’s in which to simply relax, enjoying culinary delights from the bars and restaurants.

Dining options are 5-star – the new Social restaurant transports diners on a culinary journey through the finest Italian flavours. It’s a must-visit along with LAO, serving Asian cuisine in an innovative manner.

We’ve previously stayed here and it has never disappointed. Again, on this occasion the hotel and level of staff service was second to none. In fact, we’ve already booked to return in 2026. Interestingly, we met some other guests who were very much of the same opinion and were also repeat visitors. Highlights include the view from the hotel room,… Read more
We’ve previously stayed here and it has never disappointed. Again, on this occasion the hotel and level of staff service was second to none. In fact, we’ve already booked to return in 2026. Interestingly, we met some other guests who were very much of the same opinion and were also repeat visitors. Highlights include the view from the hotel room, the quality of the food and service in the Meze restaurant and the superb Chinese/Thai fusion food and service in Lao restaurant. Finally a big shout out to Borzo and the team at the pool who were absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they were constantly on hand to make our day as relaxing as possible.

We have returned on our main family holiday to this resort since 2018. We are never disappointed. The staff at the hotel work so hard to make our time fabulous. They are friendly and courteous and will go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. The pool and beach staff are attentive and anticipate if you need ice or water. Thank you to Tamur, Sagar,Aziz. Samer and Sasi. In the main restaurant all the servers, including Nirmali, Laxmi and all of the chefs provide a gorgeous range of food. We ate twice at Social, the chef and staffs passion for you to have a wonderful dining experience made our meals extra enjoyable. All the lounge team including Evelyne, Jennifer Mee Faith, Sheena, Sabine are simply the best. They are patient diplomatic, friendly and efficient. They always go the extra mile. We made a point of speaking to the senior management this time as we were upset by the increase of entitled rude customers who were unjustifiably complaining about staff trying to get free stuff. The team are exceptional at the WA and it’s why we come back each year. They treat us like family and we love it. Finally, a big thank you to Mercy in Guest Relations for her support with all our extra arrangements and to Shon in concierge for everything he did.. both hidden gems x and our drivers. Until next time a huge thank you. Read less
