Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are comfortable with all amenities, but noise from outside could be disturbing at night. The service is exceptional, especially from staff like Brij and Ranjith. The location on a beautiful island is great, close to nature and offering a serene atmosphere. The dining experience is delightful with a mix of buffet and a-la-carte dishes. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a luxurious touch to the stay.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms allow for some noise disturbance and have limited entertainment options, they do provide ceiling fans for those who prefer them at night. The location may be a bit far from the airport for some, but it offers a perfect setting on the beach, especially during peak season. The dining experience is highlighted by delicious Thai dishes. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities continue to cater to guests' needs adequately.
The resort offers very comfy and clean rooms with excellent snorkeling just outside. The service was extremely nice, and the location is one of the best in the world. The dining experience was amazing. However, some rooms showed signs of wear, and the location requires caution due to rusting screws.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were excellent, spacious, and well-located, always clean but the entertainment options were limited. The service was attentive, friendly, and responded to my needs promptly. The location was perfect, not far from the airport, saving me commuting time, and the facilities were top-notch. The dining experience was amazing with a variety of options included in the cost.
