Beachfront was clean and relaxing..Breakfast was the best of the 3 hotels we stayed at. Staff very friendly.. The bad news are the ridiculous taxi fares. For example if a family of 4 want to go to a restaurant a kilometere away. It will cost $280..4x$35 one way and return the same. A real tourist turn off.Why dont Hotels have shuttle buses,, ##### Noemi Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott James 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Pros: Great location, lovely beach access, friendly staff. Cons: Very noisy, you can hear footsteps constantly if you are not on the top floor. Made sleeping very difficult. Breakfast buffet is very limited. Pros outweigh the cons however. ##### Scott James Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kym 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent from the moment we checked in until Check out Staff were friendly and could not do enough for us.

We went snorkelling just outside the hotel, many fish there. It is a small hotel, which is good, nice and chill. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I liked the feeling of living on the beach. Wasn't keen on the food but that might just be me. ##### Michele Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marissa 21 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like the ocean front view, the staff was so incredibly helpful n excellent service.

Absolute beachfront . Perfect for swimming and snorkelling . Great food and cocktails downstairs at the restaurant . Quiet location . The local shop is less than 1 km walk up the road, as is 2 other highly recommended eateries . ( Charlie’s and Little Polynesian) It was perfect for everything we needed and highly recommend.

Steps away from the beach. They give you free breakfast which is nice. Rooms are clean. ##### Todd Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Edwin 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Small hotel, few guests, made it very secluded. Right on lagoon, all equipment provided. Staff all very friendly. Only downside was breakfast buffet was closed for first half of our stay. Instead, we listed what we want, and a tray was brought up and we are in our room. ##### Edwin Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is in a good location snorkelling wise with a nice view. It’s debatable if we would stay here again, most likely not as you can hear neighbour noise IE moving furniture, talking and the cleaners make a fair bit of noise. Not ideal when you have had a late night and wish to sleep in or just have peace in general. The shower pressure would drop to almost a dribble when someone I’m guessing in another room was using the shower. The food was diabolical don’t eat there but the drinks were great. The room itself was spacious and had a great view and was clean. We would try one of their sister properties ##### Amy Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Thirumala 24 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view from room balcony, Right on the lagoon; loved that suncreen was available when using equipment; Staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgable.Kitchenette was equipped for us (couple) would have preferred a microwave to reheat early-purchased meals/ leftovers ##### Thirumala Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Taos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taos-Hotels.d602286.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Nanterre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanterre-Hotels.d4517.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [iza Roka apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Apartments-Old-Town-Finest.h11119046.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Lazonby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Lazonby-Hotels.s50-0-d3000010817.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nana Golden Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Golden-Beach-All-Inclusive.h15277485.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edgewater Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Edgewater-Resort-And-Spa.h1583329.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B St. Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Florence-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d3000367942-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hostels Stanmore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanmore-Hostels.d553248623255254544-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Castles United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/United-Kingdom-Castles.d190-aaCastles.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Sherwood Forest Golf and Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sherwood-Forest-Golf-And-Country-Club-Hotels.0-l6281845-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sunday Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Sunday-Hotel.h7685076.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Athenry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athenry-Hotels.d6140422.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Homes St. Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Private-Holiday-Homes.d6023729-aaPrivateHolidayHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [3 Star Hotels in Bur Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/3Star-Bur-Dubai-Dubai-Hotels.s30-n6054337-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals > [Westport Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westport-Holiday-Rentals.d5017.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) > > [Saundersfoot Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saundersfoot-Holiday-Rentals.d182884.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) > > [Hemingford Grey Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hemingford-Grey-Holiday-Rentals.d3000365910.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Steeple Aston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Steeple-Aston.dx9915) > > [Visit Ponte de Lima](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ponte-De-Lima.dx6069735) > > [Visit Trefin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trefin.dx3000457403) > > [Visit Kuching](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuching.dx6142141) > > [Visit Saint-Aignan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Aignan.dx6023150) ---
