It was a lovely spacious hotel with a beautiful African theme spread out in beautiful grounds. The staff were lovely especially Hassan, the Bar Manager and the Animator boys Godgift, Marco and Festo who were great fun. We really enjoyed our holiday there.

Absolutely incredible! Fantastic beyond believe . It was so good I booked an additional 3 nights . I could not fault a single aspect of the resort . I was a lone traveler , and every single member of staff including the managers and manager of the resort made me feel like a member of the family . They were all so warm friendly and welcoming, and I will genuinely miss chatting to them . The location is superb and the beach and ocean views incredible. The food was fantastic and I would like to extend a massive thank you to every single member of staff! Nothing was too much trouble for this wonder people . Matthew

The hotel could be so much better with a little improvement to the toilets in the rooms and by training staff to have a more consistent experience. We loved the amenities and proximity to the beach. The pool area is quite nice but lacks atmosphere- the only time they play music is during water yoga each day at lunchtime. Most staff were very friendly but a few were really difficult. We asked to move rooms on day 1 as we had paid for a double room and got two singles pushed together- a real pet hate. It took a day to resolve and the next bed was much better but we had a nasty smell in the bathroom and in the area outside- we didn’t even bother complaining as the experience of moving room had been such an ordeal. Food is really good. Evening entertainment during dinner was quite nice but the setup was very strange with the bands playing facing a screen with half the diners hidden from view. The water in the sea here was an amazing temperature and you can swim easily when the tide is in. The “beach boys” that hawk all sorts of souvenirs on the beach were quite annoying- they were generally polite but would not accept “no” for an answer and will follow you for an uncomfortably long time when you try to just enjoy a nice walk on the beach. This is nothing the hotel can control. Overall we liked the place and probably would have rated it higher if we had been dealt with more professionally on the first two days

My wife and I booked our stay here for our belated honeymoon. From the day we made the reservation, the staff was communicative and engaged, corresponding with us via the Expedia messaging system. When we landed at the airport, the transfer they had arranged for us ($60 each way) was waiting and was very friendly and professional. The van we rode in was clean and comfortable. The ride took about 40 minutes. When we got to the hotel I wasn't sure what to think, because the signage outside the compound and the road leading to the gate are a bit worn down, but once you pull through the gate it's just fantastic. Everything looks great; it's clean, and looks like it's constantly and consistently maintained. Our check-in couldn't have been easier, we were given some fresh juice and then briefed on things like breakfast/dinner hours, wifi, etc... by one of the managers. Staff helped us with our bags to our villa, and it didn't disappoint--nice king bed, TV, A/C, a beautiful wrap-around bathroom, we couldn't have been happier. The facilities are all great--the pool was large and not overly crowded, the beach is literally just a few steps from the pool, and the swim-up bar makes drinking even easier. Every meal was fantastic; the breakfast buffet is NOT to be missed, and every night was a different dinner buffet theme (Mediterranean night, BBQ night, etc...). We would 100% go back, this place was great.

Try to do something about the wi fi. Even the free wi fi at the bar and restaurant did not work at all time. For a resort like this it will be normal to have wi fi in the rooms for free.
