    Perfect spot for a short relaxation and/or beach holiday, not for partying and nightlife. Wind from the Indian Ocean helped to bear heat and humidity. Well looked-after premises with friendly and attentive staff.

    A crisp Sauvignon Blanc for dinner? Great! But not if it ain't properly chilled!!! Same for beers. Make sure you order drinks first and ask for coolers and lots of ice in them.

    The food was delicious, the staff very helpful and friendly. My room was upgraded at no extra cost during my stay. This hotel felt like paradise!

    Standard double room was a bit small but I was upgraded to a sea view room half way through my stay. This room was absolutely perfect with amazing views of the Indian Ocean.

    Upgraded sea view at no extra charge, view was great!!! Flush mechanism on Toilet was not working initially, maintenance crew fixed right away. Food and spa were amazing. Staff was attentive, courteous and happy.

    Front door had no door knob. Bed was a little stiff. Water pressure in shower would fluctuate.

    The breakfast was great but there were one staff especially Magdalene that was super helpful with ideas for baby food on first night. Beryl was also quite helpful! I loved that they had some baby swimming pools.

    The dinner options were quite limiting. The hotel might not be customised for babies as it was difficult to get the food appropriately made for babies at the first try.
