The location is simply beautiful, with breathtaking views and a peaceful ambiance. The staff were exceptional—especially Theo, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Although I made an error in my booking by reserving the two-bedroom villa for only two adults, the hotel management showed great understanding. They kindly offered a generous solution by asking us to cover only 50% of the additional amount, which we truly appreciated. The villa itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The entire property is well-maintained and provides a wonderful boutique experience. One recommendation: it would be great if a pool heater could be added, as the water can be quite chilly in July. Overall, we enjoyed our time very much and thank the team for their hospitality! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bd45006-236c-4bae-8aa5-6c7969ac8692-1754130747867.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mohammad Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marcus 19 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the entire set up..the pool was right across from the famous rock restaurant..you can see the sunset right from the porch and the restaurant was absolutely delicious ##### marcus Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aryam 29 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### BEST VACATION SPOT EVER !! 11/10 best vacation + resort I've been to this far.

Fabulous facilities with amazing service and food. The villa is amazing in design and functionality and has great views on The Rock . The place is perfect to relax and chill while still having enough flow of locals and other tourist so you do not feel completely isolated. We truly enjoyed the place and we would definitely come again !! ##### Marti Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A lovely hotel, very clean and cosy rooms, great location, tasty food and friendly team.

Quiet, beautiful, peaceful and paradise- they really try to help you relax and take it “pole pole”.The rooms are magical and like living in a luxury tree house . The hotel is at the end of a beach right across from The Rock so you’re getting the quiet bedroom huts and beach lounge chairs poolside and beachfront, but able to see the beautiful ocean and Rock and some local fisherman’s Activity at the same time right in front of you when you look out. Easy to pop out and walk barefoot down the beach to several GREAT restaurants steps away that are all very different (one amazing italian (believe it or not) called Baladin which is also a hotel and a serves great locally made beer , and a fabulous bare bones local catch of the day fish place called Pandu Ngozi Restaurant. They’re also able to get you a quick and cheap taxi to Kae funk bar to watch the amazing sunset or hang out with safari beers in the water at Lahaina beach bar. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### MICHEL 7 Jan 2024 ##### MICHEL Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesús 22 Feb 2023 ##### Jesús Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 20 Jan 2023 ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cliff 14 Jul 2022 ##### cliff Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Polly 21 Sept 2021 ##### Polly Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benny 12 Sept 2021 ##### Benny Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 6 Mar 2021 ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Antonin 21 Jan 2021 ##### Antonin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl 19 Dec 2020 ##### Cheryl Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Dawlish Warren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dawlish-Warren-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d6342845--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Fox at Willian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letchworth-Hotels-The-Fox-At-Willian.h91846122.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Markinch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Markinch-Hotels.d7722.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Karamba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Karamba.h32519014.Hotel-Information) > > [Holmes Hotel London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holmes-Hotel-London.h6473.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Godalming](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Godalming-Hotels.d182528.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Coniston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Coniston-Hotels.s50-0-d602334.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Italy-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d86-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Rajkot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rajkot-Hotels.d2937.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Heathrow Terminal 5 Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heathrow-Terminal-5-Station-Hotels.d6146384.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mumbai-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Mumbai-Sahar.h9784580.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Marmaris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Marmaris-Hotels.s50-0-d6054843.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Esher](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Esher-Hotels.d5862.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Princess Taurito - All Inclusive Plus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mogan-Hotels-Hotel-Taurito-Princess-All-Inclusive.h8157979.Hotel-Information) > > [Montebello Deluxe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Montebello-Deluxe.h8258145.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calpe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calpe-Hotels.d6034540.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Waverley Inn Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Waverley-Inn-Apartments.h60534060.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-Empire-State-Hotel.h69621866.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Spring, Peterhead by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peterhead-Hotels-Harbour-Spring.h21203137.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/yyz/newcastle-to-toronto) ### Activities > [Things to do in Staveley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Staveley.d6361594.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Ballymoney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Ballymoney.d6126735.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Camp de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Camp-De-Mar.d6035122.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Egypt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/52/Egypt) > > [Kata Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kata-Beach-Karon.d6067908.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Darlington Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darlington-Holiday-Rentals.d4619.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Isles of Scilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isles-Of-Scilly.dx1634) > > [Visit Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen.dx6054175)
