Perfect location with your own beach

Front desk staff could do better with their attire! Not appealing at welcome Bathroom had strong order from pipes.

Gorgeous property. Great location. Tranquil and calm . Amazing staff . Delicious food

I can’t think what I didn’t like

Beautiful location on the beach with sunning views in a generous sized room. The staff were amazing and so friendly. The food was lovely. It was a fabulous three day stay. We loved that they adopted 2 very sweet and gentle street dogs.

A little far away if you like to walk places as there is a busy main road close by but easy to get a tuk tuk.

The room was spacious and made a great first impression. I had booked a room with a plunge pool and was pleasantly surprised to also find a jacuzzi in the bathroom, which I had not expected. The bathroom itself was very large and the room felt comfortable overall. Staff were welcoming and respectful throughout my stay, and I especially appreciated being allowed an early check-in, which made arrival much easier.

As a solo female traveller, the main downside was the lack of privacy. Although there are partitions between neighbouring rooms, the front of the plunge pool area is open and there is frequent foot traffic from staff. I often felt exposed when using the outdoor area and had staff constantly looking in towards the evening when the room lights were on, I ended up keeping curtains closed in the room, which reduced the benefit of having the view. The plunge pool layout was also inconvenient as the pool sits directly between the room and the seating area, leaving no easy path around it. The beach itself is relatively small and does not feel particularly private, with local activity and boats nearby, so travellers expecting a secluded resort beach experience may want to manage expectations.
