We ended up here because our travel agent failed to find a better place. Ou first impression was that it looked like a motel with lots of guests. It is not the case: you hardly feel the crowd as most of the guests are here to go further damage Pigeon island corals and pollute the turquoise with plastic and noise. If you stay at the (private) beach, you will enjoy the spot. The rooms are okayish - with local fauna (monkeys, geckoes, frogs and alas, many ants in the bathroom). I doubt you will enjoy the food: the grill is good but the cooked food buffet is very average, very spicy or dull (pasta). Some of the cakes are good but dessert is basically jello and not so tasty fruit. However, here is the thing : the hotel is a stop over from full buses of tourists who come for dinner (only?) or come with the diving center within the hotel so the only pleasant dining area is always reserved for them so you end up dining with your family next to loud Europeans. It feels like a school cafeteria at best, only you have to chase up the waiters to get a bottle of water and avoid the musician duets that plague you for a tip. The food is also not cheap. We stayed three nights and basically enjoyed the location and the pool but would not recommend.

Hôtel très confortable situé en bord de mer, donnant acces à une plage paradisiaque. Peu de monde, alentours très sauvages. On y côtoie singes, écureuils, geckos, … Seul bémol : pas de gift shop et autres boutiques, on est ici entourés par la plage et la nature !! Le personnel y est très gentil et prévenant, les repas sont bons. Une belle fin de voyage pour nous dans cet hôtel 😍

Nice clean comfortable rooms, staff were extremely kind and pleasant. Beach was amazing and the location was brilliant right across from Pigeon Island. Some facilities in the hotel were old and food was okay but still good. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and the staff were great.

Отель подойдет тем, кто просто ищет пляжного спокойного отдыха. Отель с небольшой территорией, но хорошим пологим пляжем.С территории возят на Голубиный остров за нормальную по местным меркам цену, 170 дол за 3х со своими масками, могут дать свои маски и жилеты за 10 с человка. Могут свозить на дайвинг.Променада вдоль океана нет, и соседние отели мертвые, т.е. днем по пляжу уйти можно далеко, ночью нет. Обмена валют на территории нет, говорят пешком с километр можно найти. Еда FB - шведский стол на завтрак и ужин, на обед выбор из 2х вторых и 2х десертов, остальное не по выбору, но все вкусно если не брать острое. В плане организации экскурсий все сложно, отдельного бюро нет. Номера разные, не все новые, но нормальные. Проблема с местом для сушки вещей, если у вас номер не с террасой - все сохнет медленно, если не на солнце. На территории обнаружены обезьяны, гекконы, агамы, бурундуки. Очень хороший персонал, но нужно знать язык английский, с русским тут плохо. Розетки универсальные в основном, для евро вилок подходят. Бассейн есть переменной глубины, сантиметров с 30 до 2х метров.

Great hotel! Maybe I don't travel very often, so I haven't seen many hotels, but I liked the service here. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and courteous, there is a beach and a swimming pool. Also, as a lover of exotic animals, I can mention a large number of interesting animals. Videos here of monkeys, crows, chipmunks, mantises, dragonflies, tree frogs, geckos and other amazing creatures Also, as a lover of exotic animals, I can mention a large number of interesting animals.

Zunächst erhielten wir ein Standardzimmer – dieses war inakzeptabel. Nach unserer Beschwerde wurden uns zwei Superior-Zimmer zugeteilt, die in Ordnung waren. Das Essen war insgesamt recht gut. Zum Frühstück wäre es jedoch empfehlenswert, weniger stark gewürzte indische Speisen wie Gulasch anzubieten und stattdessen ein westliches Frühstück bereitzustellen. Ich konnte beobachten, dass der Großteil der Gäste morgens kein indisches Essen bevorzugt. Die Anlage wirkt insgesamt veraltet und etwas vernachlässigt. Es wäre sinnvoll, alle Zimmer über Stege erreichbar zu machen, damit man nicht durch den Sand laufen muss. Auch die Außenanlagen und die Liegestühle am Strand sollten dringend überarbeitet werden. Die Liegestühle sollten täglich vom Vogelkot gereinigt werden. Zudem wäre es angebracht, die am Strand hinterlassenen Kuhfladen zeitnah zu entfernen. Ein Steg von der Stranddusche zu den Zimmern würde den Komfort deutlich erhöhen. Der Strand und das Meer vor dem Hotel sind schön, wenn auch stellenweise etwas verschmutzt. Rund 2 km vom Ufer entfernt liegen einige kleine Inseln, die sich sehr gut zum Schnorcheln eignen. Die Anfahrt erfolgt mit einem Boot des hauseigenen Diving Centers. Allerdings sind 250 $ für einen zweistündigen Schnorchelausflug für eine vierköpfige Familie aus meiner Sicht deutlich überteuert.

I picked a massage from the big menu, and got a fantastic treatment for a fair price. Jagadh is an absolute professional, I'm grateful for this experience.
