Staff were amazing. Special thanks to Chika from accommodating the check-in, issue with a neighbor room and helping us find a taxi last minute. She went above and beyond to help us and we are very grateful for that. Also the spas are super cool and unique. Totally recommend booking this hotel.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic — it truly met and exceeded all expectations. The facilities were excellent, including very good fitness facilities, the location was perfect, and the staff were warm, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. The food was outstanding, and the breakfast was easily one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever experienced.
We were also pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a nicer room, which was beautiful and very comfortable. The only small downside was that the beds were a bit hard. Aside from that minor detail, everything else was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Great hotel, everything was high quality and the staff is very attentive. Would love to come back.
The only thing I would change is the noisy paddle-session that lasts 1-1,5 hours with loud party music between 11am and 12 which is annoying to all others trying to have a chill morning by the pool.

The hotel said on the beach BUT it actually a false advertisement. The beach is a walking across the road to get into access. They told us that hotel access is free BUT you have to paid in order to use the facilities, buy a drink or food in order to used the facilities. I was not happy about this.
