Our host Siham was very friendly and helpful! She did a great job. Unfortunately, not all employees are so nice to the guests. Nobody should visit the jeweler in the lobby, he is a scammer!!

Our host Siham was very friendly and helpful! She did a great job. Unfortunately, not all employees are so nice to the guests. Nobody should visit the jeweler in the lobby, he is a scammer!! We bought 2 rings for 400 $ that were supposedly real silver and on the first day the stones fell out and you could tell by the quality and weight that they were fake. Siham helpet us to get the cash back, thanks for this. The bar waiters often ignored us and forgot many orders! On the last day they tried to ingratiate themselves with us and suddenly treated us completely differently. Very unfortunate but the place is beautiful but the rooms are very old, for us this is no 5 Star hotel. Food was ok. Read less

What a fantastic holiday this island has got it right. From the moment we arrived which was very late at night we were greeted by our host Cynthia who showed us to our room and explained everything. The next morning she took us on a lovely trip in a buggy around the island. There was so much choice of food and all the staff were amazingly. The three queens in the main restaurant were a real joy. Snorkeling was the best we have ever experienced, water so clear and warm. The sunset fishing trip was a great night but only one fish between four of us. Our room was only yards from the sea and had everything we needed. Only criticism was the loud music at night, another room to just have a drink and play cards etc., would have been good. Cynthia was there every day to check we were enjoying ourselves and really went the extra mile to ensure our holiday was a great success, we will not forget her. Read less

We had an absolutely delightful time, largely owing to the flawlessly organized facilities. The staff went above and beyond in friendliness, with special recognition to Cynthia and the entire team of the snorkeling with the sharks excursion, along with the cleaning personnel of our water villa.

Resort was nice. Enjoyed the food. We were able to try several water sports. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our dinner by the beach due to the weather at the time. Most of all, the staff was very friendly and accommodating specially our host Ms. Cynthia. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
