The staff were excellent and extraordinary welcoming. We are an elderly couple and the staff took care of us like we were their own children. The chief went out of his way to ask me what food I liked and cooked it especially just to make us feel welcome. That was not necessary but the warmth of the team made our holiday excellent. So clean and wonderful.
The staff were very welcoming and lovely. The room was nice and clean and the hotel was very picturesque. The staff made it even more special by a surprise birthday cake for my brother which was beautiful . Thank you so much.
Rooms were clean and tidy. Lots of space to relax insideband on the decking. Jacuzzi was a bonus.
There were many swtiches in the room controlling lights etc which was confusing.
Pool lining was loose but pool and pool area was clean.
Staff were very helpful and freindly.
Rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Food quality needs significant improvement for foreign guests especially Indian.

Food needs improvement
Reasonable rooms, but because of the lime scale in the water staff are unable to clean the bathrooms adequately. Food at the hotel awful needs improvement cold, I summise they are unable to get a decent chef due to the location. Breakfast was terrible tour groups their focus.
My husband and I LOVED this hotel. The service was excellent, the pool is beautiful, and I also enjoyed a wonderful massage at the spa. We did not try the dinner buffet, but ordered off the menu and the food was fantastic. For 110 US dollars we had a deluxe two story room with 3 beds and 2 air conditioners. Loved it!
Unfortunately more Paradise lost than found.
The hotel is in need of refurbishment - pool area was reasonable as was the spa services which were excellent. That is were the accolades stop, rooms are tired and very dark and the food and service was poor, the hotel and staff were soulless, this was probably a good place to stay a decade ago but it has lost its sparkle.
