"Un lugar maravilloso con una mala experiencia de checking donde nos hacen un tour por las instalaciones que eran solo para vender productos y servicios . Llegamos temprano al hotel así que esperamos varias horas por la habitación y en el tour la primera parada fue en la tienda de souvenirs , luego en el lugar donde te vendían tratamientos y masajes . Cómo 20 minutos de venta que parecía la venta agresiva de tiempo compartido . Por otro lado el lugar, las instalaciones, la cómoda y la gente de primer nivel."

"This was our favourite stop on our 3 week trip. This property is a piece of paradise. The bungalow over the water was amazing - clean and spacious! The breakfast was wonderful and the lunch and dinner options were also amazing. We loved the nature trail and we made good use of the paddle boards on offer. However, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. They were wonderful with our 16 month old. Special shout out to Rafia (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - he was brilliant with our son! This hotel will always be our favourite holiday destination. Thank you so much everyone, we hope to be vac one day!"
