None that we experienced

I regret to say that our stay was an absolute disaster from start to finish and I cannot recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing vacation. Despite the official check-in time being 3:00 pm, we arrived at 4:30 pm to allow extra time for preparation. Even by then, our room was not ready. We were first forced to wait outside the gate for 15 minutes because a day-outing bus was blocking it. Once inside, the noise from large groups was overwhelming. The manager continued to make excuses for the room's unavailability, and we still did not receive our keys until 6:30 pm—a completely unreasonable delay. The owner offered another 2 rooms from a nearby place which is not even close for what we have booked. Any hope of settling in was shattered when we opened the door. The room was clearly not cleaned: there was dirt everywhere, the sheets were unclean and had to be replaced, and all the cleaning supplies were just left in the middle of the floor. It was appalling. To add to the frustration, we had booked a Bed & Breakfast (BB) rate. The manager then informed us that breakfast was not served on the premises and we would have to walk to a different location, which felt like a complete bait-and-switch. The constant excuses from management for every failure were the final straw. This place is fundamentally disorganized and does not deliver on its promises. Save your money and your peace of mind—stay somewhere else.

Great location overlooking the lagoon, really great and friendly staff. This hotel has re-opened and has great potential due to the excellent location. We had to leave earlier than planned due to circumstances and staff was very cooperative. Also they helped us to rent scooters.

All in all, great place but we missed some comfort. We stayed in the 2 hotel rooms above the restaurant. The lounge area on the balcony upstairs had a broken chair, 1 curtain missing in one of the bedrooms and some lamp bulbs missing in the other bedroom. Also the pool didn’t have any sun beds to chill.

Very comfortable. The pool was wonderful. The son of the owner was very helpful. He showd the whole property and helped by answering our questions. Thank you Coleen!

We loved the beautiful design, the tranquility, the pool and the food. They had kayaks we could use to cross the lagoon to the beach and the views from the resort were amazing. The food in the evening was excellent. Great service. All very good. We took kite surfing lessons at the hotel's kite surf school. sanjeewn and his team at the kite school were brilliant. The centre is well organised with good equipment and the lessons were excellent. We really recommend both the hotel and the kite surf centre enough.

We had a lovely time at the nature resort, amazing location front of the lagoon. it was a welcome surprise to have Yoga offered every morning on the lagoon. The food was very reasonably priced and good compared to other places in the area. The trainee program for young people in the area is really nice, it sometimes takes a bit of time to get your food, but they are learning and a really good group. The accommodations are royal. Huge swimming pool there, Very helpful staff. We had 4X4 Off-road tour to uchchamuni church it's amazing !!!!
