"Words can not describe how incredibly amazing this stay is. We celebrated a mini-moon just after getting married and we’re looking for tranquility and quite luxury and this resort exceeded all our expectations. Staff was top notch, food was amazing(especially AMAR restaurant) and the Nao Spa was one of the best massages we’ve each had. Also huge plus is the private beach with its natural like cabanas and sub-beds. Definitely will be coming back on our next trip !"

"Plenty of helpful and friendly staff. The room was cleaned to a high standard and well stocked and organised. The hair dryer and steamer were high quality. The pool area is beautifully decorated. Loungers are limited and fully taken by 1130. The DJ and saxophone artists were excellent. Breakfast buffet has good selection and was fresh and good quality. Coffee machine rather than espresso machine with barista but acceptable. The Al a carte restaurant was disappointing. The service was fine but the food was very basic and Salty."
