    I honestly think you can do better when it comes to your breakfast. Put more effort

    The guy at the reception, I forgot his name but it was a young white guy,,,he was so warm and friendly yet professional. We booked a standard room and the hotel upgraded our room to a deluxe room and we were so happy. The sea view is so beautiful and refreshing.

    We were informed that we ordered and billed in our room yet we had not placed any order. We informed them that we brought our supper. I’m still puzzled how can another guests order pizza and chips and billed in our room? Where exactly they sent food to?

    Exceeded our expectation.

    This place is absolutely amazing and its worth noting that the two bedroom unit's pictures certainly do not do it justice - spacious, beautifully furnished with fantastic ocean views and multiple pools!! However, the kitchen could use with some additions like bowls, an additional pot (to make it two) and atleast one cutting knife. The restaurant was also wonderful, with fantastic views and delicious food. Although, the lunch and dinner menus are the same. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Room & bathroom somewhat delepadated or run down. Mouldy shower, loose bath casing. Water runs out the bathroom when showering. Brought to cleaners attention. Could pay better attention to prepping room, drinking glasses, comp water.

    Beautiful venue with stunning views. Great restuarant on premises. Very friendly & professional helpfull staff. Apologetic for the slow service.

    This was my 3rd stay at the hotel. The 1st time the TV was not working. We contacted the reception via cellphone because the room line waa not working either They sent someone down but they couldn't help. So we didn't have a TV for our stay. This time there was a power outage in the area. Again the room line didn't work so i had to to call reception using my cellphone. The person who answered didn't even know there was a power outage in the area. They asked me what was wrong in the room. They said they would check with the manager and get back to me. I made the call at 8:27pm. They only Calle dme back at 8:42pm after me trying them about 5 times to say that there's a power outages and someone will be attending to the fault in the area. I enquired on whether there's a generator. They said no. I wasn't even offered a rechargeable light. We were basically left in the dark until it came back on after 12 in the night. The next day I left for breakfast at around 9am and got back around 3pm only to find that our room hadn't been cleaned eventhough we put a sign on the door that said make up room. Someone came in emptied the bin and left the dirt next to the bin and never cleaned. I had to contact reception, and then they sent someone to clean. We had to wait outside on the patio while the room was being cleaned. As a 5 star hotel I think that maybe a rechargeable light could be put in the rooms in the event of a power outage since theres no generator. Leaving the guests in the dark is not acceptable. Also there should be some care taken on cleaning the rooms. Guests shouldn't have to leave for hours and come back to a room that was not cleaned. The water from the shower is leaking into the passage. The aircon was making a rattling noise and not cooling well. While the staff was friendly and the view amazing the place needs some urgent upkeep to remain a 5 star hotel.

    The view was amazing. The room was quite clean and smelt good. The room was big and comfortable. The patio overlooking the beach was lovely. Checking in and checking out was easy and painless....
