Just to clarify before I get started, this a review of only the brunch. The brunch was wonderful with lots of tasty international cusines, kid's options (for the little ones) and a vast bar. The service was amazing our primary waiter was Gusti (Indonesia) who was so polite, friendly and kind to the kids. At one point a magician even came over to say hi and show us a couple tricks which were as they usually are with magicians, mind-blowing! They did a special dance at one point and the whole room waved their napkins in the air and sung and danced. They also had great beverages for adults and younger ones and the staff were constantly there to keep the drinks flowing. The offer is simply splendid, with european, asian, middle eastern, amercian and so many more international bars to choose from. Highly recommend for kids. Operates from 1-4pm on a sunday only. I also loved the theme which was 'Aloha Hawaii!' You can find the brunch under the name of Family Fiesta Brunch. I've attached some pics of my son and Gusti below! Read less

Second time here in 2 years and love it. So nice and chilled, and a beautiful place to stay. Staff are very friendly and can’t do enough to help out. Special mention to Kennedy, who was part of the beach team who always greeted us with a smile and made sure our sun loungers were right and comfortable.
