Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay in the honeymoon suite, which was spacious and gave a beautiful view of the pool and garden. The staff, especially the gentleman at the bar, were lovely, and the pool area was always clean with plenty of sun beds available. While the breakfast had great options, I feel the reception staff could be a bit friendlier. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and closer to bars and restaurants in the evening.
We had an unforgettable stay in the honeymoon suite, with an amazing room and lovely staff, especially the bartender who went above and beyond. The pool area was clean with plenty of sunbeds, and we enjoyed a good breakfast with lots of choice. The hotel is perfectly located near the beach and within a short walking distance to restaurants and bars in Kata. The only downside was that the reception staff could have been a bit friendlier.
We had an amazing time in the honeymoon suite, with a clean pool area and plenty of sunbeds to enjoy. The breakfast was good with a wide variety of options, which made our mornings delightful. However, it would have been nice if the reception staff were a bit more engaging and smiled more often. Overall, it was a great experience, especially with the pleasant bar staff.
I had an amazing stay in the honeymoon suite, which was simply stunning. The staff were lovely, especially the bartender who was very attentive. However, I feel that the reception staff could work on their friendliness as they weren’t the most welcoming. The pool area was well-kept, and I appreciated the good breakfast selection. The hotel was conveniently located near the beach and just a short walk to Kata, where I found plenty of bars and restaurants.
