Nice hotel but suites amenities missing
We opted for the Executive Suite, which was offered with some special services (special restaurant, lounge for drinks and happy hour), etc., that were not operating due to Covid. It’s a nice, comfortable hotel with professional, kind staff, but I would advice booking the basic rooms until they get things sorted.

Stay away if you want to relax
Beware!! Don’t stay at this hotel if you want to relax and sit by the pool. This hotel has less than 100 sunloungers to accommodate over 250 guests. If you don’t get up early, or pay the pool attendant to reserve your sun lounger, you will receive a tatty bit of foam and a towel to sit on the floor until something becomes available. The pool is dirty and green unlike the crystal blue waters as shown. The rooms are dirty with lights falling out the ceiling and cockroaches on the floor. The club lounge access is a joke which is leftover food from breakfast

Disliked: Cleanliness
Friendly and helpful reception staff. Food and beverage services at the restaurant were somewhat satisfactory; however, only a very few stand-outs in the buffet spread. Restaurant staff were swift. Bathroom cleanliness was an issue; when checked in, dirty, wet tissue was found in the dirty toothbrush holder; toilet seemed to have not been cleaned as it had toilet paper in it and was not flushed. The phone wreaked of musty odour that would not go away after house keeping cleaned it with alcohol. Balcony and balcony furniture were dirty. Overall, the property needs some attention. The adjacent beach is rather small and had dogs and cows roaming about. The dogs were on the property too. The pools were the highlight. Coconut trees on the property added to the resort feel. The live band during my one night stay was very good and enjoyable. Overall, poor value for the money.

Very disppointing service
Spent 2 nights here with family recently. The room was clean and well-equipped with what we needed. Very comfy bed and had a great sleep. However the downside was the service, in particular the difference we observed from the point of check-in in how we were treated (as Sri Lankans) vs other foreign guests. We had to ask several times for simple things like tea and coffee at breakfast before we actually received it. Given the disappointing service (apart from a lovely waiter at the Seven Seas a la carte restaurant on our last night), we wouldn't recommend this hotel again and won't be visiting in the future.

A little disappointed with one aspect of our stay. I booked a Superior Deluxe Sea View room, but they didn't have one when I checked in. They upgraded us to a Club Suite, which was a bigger room, but the room was at the corner of the property and didn't have a Sea view.

Hotel for relaxing
Nice and relaxing with friendly staff. We stayed over new year for a week and the hotel was not over crowded so there was no scrum for sun beds etc... We had b&b and the breakfasts were very good. The gym staff are excellent and very helpful. I do think for a 4* the aminites such as communal toilets are not up to standard and a little more attention to the hotel feeling plush would certianly enhance the 4* experience that would further enhance the experience of this hotel.
