Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provides a perfect escape, just a 10-minute boat ride away from the airport and beach, ideal for families with young children. The rooms offer a serene atmosphere with an outdoor rain shower and a relaxing bathtub, surrounded by a calming garden setting. However, some rooms may have views of construction zones.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with charming flower decorations and a huge outdoor bathroom right by the beach. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location is brilliant, close to the airport and boasting quick and efficient key-in-hand check-in. While the dining experience was delicious with a diverse food selection, there were occasional issues with cold dishes. Overall, a great value for such a beautiful beachfront setting.
I had a wonderful time at the hotel! The rooms were always neat and welcoming, especially thanks to Nadu, who is incredibly dedicated to his job. The location was perfect for us, just a 10-minute boat ride from the airport, with a beautiful lagoon beach that was ideal for our 2-year-old son. The access to the beach was fantastic, with allocated loungers ensuring a stress-free experience.
The hotel provided a great experience overall, with spacious rooms ideal for families, very nice service, a prime location close to the main island and offering delicious dining options. However, the food variety was a bit limited at times.
Staying in the delux bungalow just steps away from the most beautiful beach I've ever seen was an incredible experience. The room was spacious, featuring a king-size double bed for us and a single bed for our 6-year-old daughter. The comfort of the beds was unmatched by any other hotel. The coffee house served delicious food with exceptional service, accompanied by wonderful hospitable staff. Although the room was air-conditioned and the indoor bathroom provided a warm environment, there were a couple of instances where we encountered coach roaches.
The hotel was a beautifully decorated deluxe bungalow just steps away from a stunning beach offering great views and snorkeling opportunities. The service was equally wonderful and attentive, making our stay very enjoyable. The location was convenient, with exciting activities available, thanks to a great team of chefs and restaurant staff. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of international cuisine and fresh juices, though the open-air setting could be improved in case of rain.
I was truly amazed by the beauty of the rooms which had a beautiful view and were very clean and cozy. The fact that our rooms faced the quieter side of the island made the stay even more peaceful. The addition of two extra beds for the kids was a thoughtful touch, although we had to request one be moved to the bedroom for added comfort.
The hotel rooms had all the amenities of a 5-star resort and offered a stunning sea view, but the space felt a little cramped with a musty smell. The service was exceptional with a particular shoutout to Iona at Athiri Bar and the talented chef Awis Kelum. The location was ideal, close to the airport and right on the beach. The dining experience provided ample choices but lacked some Indian dishes. Overall, a great stay with minor room issues.
I had an incredible time at this hotel! The rooms were amazing, and the beachfront option was just perfect for those wanting direct ocean access. The service was beyond compare, with Chef Viji making our dining experience truly memorable. The location was ideal, just a stone's throw from the airport, and the dining options were top-notch. If you can overlook some maintenance issues, this place is a gem!
