Thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay here. Several swimming pools as well as the beach. It never felt crowded, always plenty of sun beds. You could wander in the sea up to your waist and watch the fish all around you. There was one specialty restaurant which was payable even if you were all inclusive. There was a nice bar where you could watch the beautiful sunsets which could have been improved with more comfortable seating. Restaurant is buffet style with plenty of choice. Excellent food. There was also a burger van but we never tried that. Lovely grounds to wander round. Beautiful birds and flowers. Occasionally fruit bats flew overhead. You could stroll up the road for 15 mins or so to a shell museum. The glass bottom boat was worth doing. You had to book it but it was free. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All staff were kind and professional I hate to single out any but Hansley waited on us near the beach and loved chatting about English football which we enjoyed. Harsh was also a waiter we got to know who was fun too. Read less

One more time, again and again is the best after almost 14 time in z resorts, kudos to CHEF SURAJ and LINA from reception, as they went above and beyond to exceed expectations. But only 1 thing till now am still waiting for a call, as I was having late check out the guys from reception came to pick up luggage, and was extremely rude to my Mother in law, thanks God I was in shower, which I didn't expect them to said it's 11:55 you have to be out from the Room, and even said no no excuse you have to be out. wow amazing is it TAMASSA where you help guest to celebrate life, anyway let's see, I did notify reception about it but it think, it was useless, but again bar team, service team, CHEF SURAJ hats off and LINA for all z assistance Read less
