Stayed here 1 week on Titan tour. Hotel clean with friendly welcoming staff. Three pools. The largest by tge bar and restaurant was often busy with day guests. The other pools were lovely and quiet. Never had a problem getting sun loungers only a few feet from our room. Service can be a bit hit and miss getting drinks at the bar and the restaurant. Lovely grounds and spa. Fruit bats roost overnight in the trees next to the spa. Lovely sunsets from the beach. Glass bottom boat and snorkelling trips available too. Low key evening entertainment which suited us. Read less
