Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel al rientro dal safari con tutta la famiglia (siamo in cinque). La struttura dell’hotel è molto bella, e noi abbiamo alloggiato in una villa con quattro camere spaziose, ognuna dotata di un bagno ampio e luminoso. La pulizia era impeccabile, il servizio attento e il terrazzo enorme, un vero punto di forza. In generale, l’alloggio era perfetto. Purtroppo, il servizio ristorazione ha lasciato molto a desiderare: tempi di attesa lunghissimi e qualità del cibo piuttosto bassa. Il ristorante del beach bar è carino, con un servizio ancora lento ma una qualità del cibo discreta. Le ragazze dello staff, invece, sono state davvero gentili e disponibili. Tuttavia, abbiamo vissuto alcuni episodi spiacevoli: 1. Durante una gita organizzata fuori dal Hotel ci avevano garantito il ritiro degli asciugamani da bagno, ma al momento del bisogno ci sono stati negati, abbiamo discusso e fatto le nostre dimostanze ,trattamento che non deve assolutamente capitare allucinante!!! In nessuna struttura soprattuto a hotel di questa categoria . Inoltre, i beach boys sulla spiaggia, pur essendo gentili, erano davvero insistenti, come spesso accade in queste destinazioni. 2. In una villa con quattro camere da letto, ci siamo ritrovati con un solo phon a disposizione. Alla richiesta di averne un altro, ci è stato inizialmente negato, una cosa assurda considerando le dimensioni dell’alloggio. Solo dopo aver segnalato il problema direttamente al General Manager, ci è stato finalmente concesso. Un trattamento inaccettabile, mai riscontrato in tutti i nostri viaggi. 3. La colazione è stata deludente, con una qualità molto scarsa. 4. La spiaggia è piccola, in parte erosa dal mare, e non dispone di lettini e ombrelloni sufficienti per tutti gli ospiti. Una situazione impensabile per un hotel di questo livello. Peccato, perché la struttura ha un grande potenziale, ma la gestione è davvero carente.

The hotel grounds are delightful : pools excellent . Rooms - really would benefit from a refurb. I was surprised not to have fresh water bottles by the bed and not to have face flannels replaced . The breakfast is poor and the spa disappoints . Just not what I'd hoped for a five star price

Posto incantevole sotto tutti gli aspetti. Curato nei dettagli pulito e ben organizzato. Un resort da favola dove ti senti molto coccolato. Sicurezza perfetta. Spiaggia favolosa. Ristorazione ottima e molto varia. Complimenti a tutto il personale e al direttore Francesco. Tornerò prestissimo. Rossana

Posto incantevole sotto tutti gli aspetti. Curato nei dettagli pulito e ben organizzato. Un resort da favola dove ti senti coccolato rispettato e curato. Sicurezza perfetta. Ristorazione ottima. Camere lussuose. Spiaggia favolosa. Il transfer collettivo da aeroporto a resort molto negativo. Prossima volta opterò per un transfer privato. Per quanto riguarda il resort, fantastico complimenti a tutto il personale e al direttore Francesco. Tornerò prestissimo. Rossana
