This hotel is outstanding in every way. It has beautiful architecture and design with comfort being at the heart of it all. Excellent high quality food and drinks. The Al a carte restaurants are amazing and we were able to book very easily. What makes this hotel even more special are the staff who work there. They all really go the extra mile to make sure you have the best time. Too many names to mention but Bishor raj and the team on the beach and by the pool are brilliant as are the Bar staff, Joy, Nant and others. They all work incredibly hard with a smile on their faces.

Kaan (Exclusive Sports Club) Loved all of his classes, from day 1 we had to attend them all. Couldn’t ask for a better trainer, he really pushed us to our limits… Read more
KB where do we begin? What a guy, service was incredible, he knew what we wanted a drink before we asked. He wasn’t there one day and we could tell the difference. You made our holiday! Kaan (Exclusive Sports Club) Loved all of his classes, from day 1 we had to attend them all. Couldn’t ask for a better trainer, he really pushed us to our limits and he was such a lovely person. How is this guy not a manager? Islam was our evening guy, very kind and hospitable. Always went the extra mile for us and checking in on us - our evening wasn’t complete without him. Pepsie served us twice at AJA and teppenyaki, she was lovely and so attentive to our needs in an efficient manner. We can’t thank her enough for amazing service with our first two dinners. You all made our holiday an absolute delight. We will be back next year!!! Love from Soph and Aim (Hugo sprits &vodka lemonade/tanq seville girls - Welsh) Read less

Absolutely wonderful hotel from the accommodations, food, amenities all with exceptional service. The daily activities programme was the best we’ve ever experienced such a good variety, loved the paddle boarding and the sound bathing. This hotel has the most amazing staff they are a real credit.
