We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights at the hotel. 3 nights went by so quickly that we wished that we could have stayed longer. The facilities offered by the hotel are excellent especially for families with children. Special mention to receptionist Dzarif for making our stay more memorable with the seaview room. Will really come back to stay in the hotel again in the future.

This a family resort which has a great location and beach area, however for the cost of the room the cleaning and overall maintenance in the room was terrible. We had a giant cockroach in the bathroom and mould in the silicon and grout of the bath. Not worth the 500 dollars a night price tag no matter how good the facilities
