My experience at the hotel was a mixed bag. While I encountered some excellent staff, the room I initially received was far from the 5-star quality I expected. Though the lobby was lovely and the breakfast was quite good, the overall room conditions left much to be desired, and the management's response to complaints was disappointing.

I absolutely adored my time at this boutique hotel by the Indian Ocean. The staff were incredibly attentive and made my stay very pleasant. The spa services were top-notch, offering a serene environment, and the dining options were delightful with a beautiful setting.

We had a delightful stay at this hotel as a family of five. The stunning entrance and unique interior design were mesmerizing, and the two-storey suite we booked was perfect for us, exuding a fresh and beautiful vibe. The food was tasty and the portion sizes generous, though a little too much for us. The staff was attentive and friendly, and while the access to the beach was a bit of a trek, it was worth it for the lovely play area for the kids. Overall, our experience was very enjoyable, but navigating to the beach could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the staff was exceptional and really made us feel at home. The location was slightly away from the busy areas, which was a plus. However, the rooms needed some updates, and the dining options were a letdown with basic offerings. Overall, it's a good choice for families looking for a lively atmosphere, but not ideal for those seeking tranquility.

Our recent stay left us quite disappointed. The view and pool were beautiful, but there were numerous service and maintenance issues, including a lack of hot water and dirty linens. While the breakfast staff provided a warm welcome, the overall response from management was lacking. Despite enjoying the location, the high prices did not match the subpar service and amenities, leaving us feeling frustrated about the experience.
