    The restaurant was OK. The food was not very good, which was disappointing because we paid to have meals included in the stay. We ended up eating elsewhere, which felt like a waste of money.

    Excellent location, kind staff, and nice facilities.

    Stayed here for 4 days with my boyfriend. This place is absolutely amazing. The property is beach front, the beach is beautiful with white sand and cristal clear water. At high tides you can jump right in. It’s also situated in a lively area with lots of cafes and restaurants around. The property is very large, it comes with a beautiful, well maintained garden with lots of palm trees, bushes and flowers. It is the only hotel with such a nice large garden. We had the king room with ocean and garden view. It’s a large room, comfortable bed and very clean. Room service is also spot on. We really enjoyed the breakfast serviced on the terrace in front of the room. Breakfast has a nice choice and really keeps you going throughout the day. We also very much enjoyed the pool, it has a really good size for swimming. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and welcoming. Overall I can absolutely recommend this place for an unforgettable stay!

    Clean, spacious bungalow with all amenities you can ask for. Situated in a lovely big garden. Breakfast is served on your terrace, which is very nice. Peaceful place with its own beach area, which we appreciated a lot. Very helpful and supportive staff and the owner, Seif, was also very nice.

    The swimming pool water is like a hot tub, not at all refreshing. There is a generous onsite library with tons of titles of many languages, these books are so dusty and disorganized.

    The resort has a beautiful location right on the beach. The breakfast includes a wonderful fruit plate, lots of coffee and choice of eggs etc. There is a lovely beach front restaurant that does a great fish burger. Staff are very friendly and try hard to be helpful.

    The bathrooms could do with an upgrade as they are very dated. The food orders always took a long time to come.

    The surroundings are beautiful, gorgeous trees, plants, flowers. Very quiet and peaceful, the staff cannot do enough to make you comfortable. Situated on a beautiful beach.

    Food a bit hit or miss in the evenings. We gotva pita bread and hummus thar was not good for 5 dollars. Cocktails could have been a bit stronger and no happy hour but the breakfast is good and these are small complaints. Got a lovely veg curry as well

    Nice pool, comfy room, plenty of space between rooms, could hear the sea and swim there and nice overall vibe

    Peaceful and quiet garden location with a fabulous sea view in the middle of a busy local village.

    The water pressure was not very good so difficult to wash the salt out of your hair. It was very quiet when we were there so very private on the verandas but with no separation between rooms on the open verandas so if the place was busy you would not have the same privacy. The beach area was small and also the restaurant. Guests preferred to sit by the ocean but there was limited space and the restaurant was popular with hotel guests and open to the public. This was not a problem as the hotel was quiet but if it was busier then this beautiful space would be very crammed. There was no one on reception on arrival and staff were unsure of the details of the booking.

    Lovely garden setting in the middle of the busy village but very quiet and peaceful. Cottages were lovely and clean with authentic local style furniture and lovely verandas to sit on. Breakfast was very good and served on the veranda by great staff. The menu was great and the specials updated everyday with great choice. Beautiful location with quiet stretch of beach and fantastic sunset spot for a sundowner.

    The food is not good at all! we order a calamari portion and it came 6 small pieces and greasy. Also the French fries were super greasy! We also paid for the new year’s dinner party with entertainment. It was the worst $35 that I spent in my life. The only good thing in the dinner was the bbc fish, and there was no entertainment, not even music. We left the place at 9pm to look for another New Year’s party.

    my the room (Langi Langi) had a good size, with an adjacent small living room, and also a nice balcony.
