The hotel is old but kept in good condition. The location is near perfect. On our previous stays we enjoyed very much the beach cafe directly from the hotel. It had great service and food, plus tiki huts for rent. This time the cafe was closed for renovation and we had to use the next one were the beach boys were outright rude and the food is mediocre. Stay away from KKO beach!

The property is nice, but there are mosquitoes in the room and we were all bitten and have red spots next morning. The beach is nice but too rough and you cannot swim. I am glad we only stayed one night otherwise I will be so upset not to be able to swim in the ocean since I am not a pool person

Location is amazing! Staff is too! Swimming pool right outside the patio door, mini kitchen worked great. L’Astrolabe breakfast was perfect and dinners were too! Fridays and Mondays are a do not miss. A few quick minutes to the beach where your chair awaits, with staff to help you there! The beach restaurant’s food is also amazing! If you do not rent a car, it is easy to get a taxi. I used the same person the whole time. He was great. This property is lovely and I would definitely come back! There’s bird watching, the surf is perfect, food, entertainment for my style, bar, and no clocks. It is lovely.

We spent 5 nights in a Deluxe room in Feb 2025 and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room! The bed was comfortable and we loved having the balcony to relax on. All of the staff were wonderful and so helpful. Very short walk to the beach and we appreciated that we had access to chairs at 4 beach clubs (KKO was our favourite). Short walk to Orient Village made dinners really easy. Great stay!

Upsides...Staff is outstanding. Proximity to the beach is excellent. Parking a positive. Downsides...a bit dated particularly with modern electrical outlets ie no HDMI outlets. Had 2 different units with #1 only one available outlet, Much better with 2nd unit. Also, quite pricey. Would I stay again? Probably.

Lots of insects in the room, some weather stripping around the door would help alot as you could see daylight around the entire frame. We came back to the room one afternoon from the beach and turned the water on for a shower and it came out brown so we opted for the pool instead. Later that day the water was fixed but it made us think twice about whether we should be showering and brushing our teeth with it.

The special dinners on resort seem pricey but they were incredible. Breakfast we ate mostly at resort was delicious. Rooms are a little dated but nice. Staff on resort were very helpful. Had a couple power outages they were short it was whole area. Had trash pickup from resort next to us woke us up some night. Few minute walk to beach if you want clothing optional end about 30min walk. Really enjoyed my stay here was very quiet and relaxing.
