The shower was excellent with good pressure. Loved the air con and then heat pump when needed. I didnt like that it was cashless as we brought quite a bit of cash but not a big deal. Some rubbish was accidenly left in our room on check in \~ also not big deal. The biggest let down was the wifi. We needed this to find things to do on the island and for map location. It would constantly drop off. This really does need to be sorted. We would come back as staff were awesome but wifi seriously needs looking at. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b60b0779-ed93-4c4a-b690-2ae4fb2e481b-1758789382300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly Anna Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the location, the pleasant and helpful staff and the great Polynesian feel of the property ##### Kenneth Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Very welcoming and friendly team.

The location on the lagoon is fantastic. It’s showing its age. The reception check in could provide a little more direction and help to the room. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance 19 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely location and great beach.

Amazing snorkelling right outside your room, saw rays and awesome fish (someone saw a turtle but we did not). Absolutely would recommend, staff are lovely and a pleasure to chat to. Swim up bar is awesome and perfect way to cool off. Can't recommend highly enough! ##### Matthew Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan 19 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff members Va and Aku provided beautiful service.

Highly highly recommend! ##### Katie Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We throughly enjoyed our stay at the sanctuary, a couple of small things i would change is the music! It is on loop 1 album the whole time and food was not consistent but mostly good. Also wifi needs to be inclusive in price even if it is a small amount. Overall was our favorite place to stay! ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Volker 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great options for walks along the beach and into the hinterland. Beautiful beach, safe swimming, snorkeling and kayaking options. Property somewhat dated and not as quiet as you would expect for an adults only resort. ##### Volker Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kube Hotel Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Kube-Hotel-Paris.h1328683.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Dundee by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Dundee.h23472931.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h1897366.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Alicante Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Alicante-Province-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6023825-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-0-d654-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Rhodes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d11286-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mercure Telford Centre Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Telford-Hotels-Mercure-Telford-Centre-Hotel.h26425.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Gym in Victoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Gym.0-n800051-0-thotelwithgym.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ballyliffin TownHouse Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-Ballyliffin-TownHouse-Boutique-Hotel.h8755753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bordoy Continental Valldemossa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valldemossa-Hotels-Hotel-Continental-Valldemossa.h16644449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hall Green](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hall-Green-Birmingham-Hotels.0-n553248634859586403-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Paradisus Cancún – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Paradisus-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h525789.Hotel-Information) > > [Nerja Villas Capistrano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nerja-Hotels-Nerja-Villas-Capistrano.h2389977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenwood Hotel by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Greenwood-Hotel-By-Wetherspoon.h48465856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Stirling](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d5606-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [WorldQuest Orlando Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-WorldQuest-Orlando-Resort.h1543827.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Castro District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castro-District-San-Francisco-Hotels.0-n179363-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Marcé (ANE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ane/london-to-angers) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Boos (URO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/uro/london-to-rouen) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Alhama de Murcia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Alhama-De-Murcia.d6122904.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Loe Bar Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loe-Bar-Beach-Helston.d6094423.Attraction) > > [California](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/206/California) ### General ---
