"الموقع والهدوء"

9.0

اكثر شي جميل في المكان صراحة الموقع والهدوء اصوات الامواج فقط راحة نفسية

يجب بدل جهد اضافي للمرافق والعناية اكثر لان المكان جميل ويستاهل يكون افضل من ما هو عليه لمسات بسيطة سيكون المكان اكثر من رائع ليس هناك غطاء في الفندق بالكامل وهو شي غريب بالنسبة لي مكتفون بالشراشف فقط

"Overall the view,pool and place is aesthetically aligned, however major flaw in service and hospitality."

5.0

There is an endless view to the property with serene views of the ocean but thats it.

There were a couple of things, 1.Rooms- They were not very well maintained and locks were broken for bathrooms 2. Service- The staff when asked to clean the sheets, were extremely unhappy to do so and made it clear. They djdnt have drinking water, they didnt provide us with any cutlery or glasses when requested upon 3- Racism- There was some altercation between us and the host/staff which required us to pay money which we were ready to do so but before we could reach that point, they standardized us as “you indians are all like this” 4- Staff- extremely rude and unprofessional. They dont realise that they are in hospitality and need to treat guests well. One of the staff members actually charged on us. All in all- would not recommend anyone to visit the place. Extremely bad service, staff, owner.

"My rating for this stay is 5/10."

4.0

The location and views are beautiful

but unfortunately our experience was disappointing The service was poor, especially around the beach and pool where staff were rarely available. The food was not good and was not enjoyed by my family. Cleanliness was also below expectations, and room cleaning was only done once every three days. There were many stray dogs around the property, which made the stay uncomfortable. In addition, the bar was never operating and did not serve any food or drinks during our stay. Overall, the beautiful scenery was the only highlight of our visit.

"Beautiful and peaceful hotel"

10.0

The hotel is beautiful. Super tasteful interior and amazing breakfast. You are just by the sea, but you can’t really swim there due to the rocks, which was a bit sad. Also the restaurant and reception is not by the villas and the pool, so you need to carry you luggage a five mins walk and they don’t serve coffee or food by the pool. The location is a bit remote, but super peaceful. We enjoyed the stay a lot
