Lovely stay!

Loved my stay. I wasn't around during the day so I can't comment on the renovation noise but the pool wasn't busy and in a lovely spot. My room had the best view and the hotel staff was constantly checking in on how things were going and wanted to know if they could do anything to make my stay better. I would absolutely stay again!

Good service and very friendly

The hotel is under construction, which did make it a bit noisy at some places. But the manager did everything to make me feel comfortable, and she did give a room away from the construction. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back. Was a pleasure staying there

Check in was done without explanation of the room etc. The sitting are by the lobby smelled damp and terrible. I was very very disappointed with the breakfast for the money I paid for this resort. Renovation was being done so very noisy and we were not informed of this when we booked this hotel in Expedia. Disappointed with this hotel I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We are repeat customers and we’ve always had a great experience here! Excellent customer service, beautiful facilities, and great food on-site with incredible scenery. Watching the sunrise through a sea view window is worth a visit by itself! The only critique I’d have is that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower/bath, but you do have a kettle available if need be. Besides that, this is a hotel I’d recommend for a true luxury experience!

Had the Moroccan scrub and massage - felt wonderful but I was a little worried about all the water wasted. The room was also a bit cool - might have been nice for it to be lightly steamy (like a mild sauna).
