I had a lovely stay at this hotel prior to my safari. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our time there. The pool and bar were delightful, and the food was quite good, especially the breakfast. However, the dining service could use some improvements, and the hotel has some areas that felt a bit dated. Overall, it was a great experience with some room for enhancement.

We had a relaxing three-night stay at the resort, with spacious rooms and a stunning beach view that made a significant difference to our experience. While the food was generally good and the staff attentive, there were minor maintenance issues that prevented a perfect rating. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, especially with the added bonus of an infinity pool right by the sea.

I had an amazing time at the resort. The highlight was definitely the staff - they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and I particularly appreciated their warm welcome. The pool area was beautiful, and the dining options were excellent, especially the breakfast buffet. While the beach wasn't safe for swimming, the stunning ocean views made up for it. Overall, it was a great value for money experience!
