    engaging activities
    luxurious suites
    service delays
    limited options
    old-fashioned decor

    Exceptional service from the Kids Club staff created a memorable experience for my children, with engaging activities that kept them excited daily. Waking up to stunning panoramic views of the Arabian Sea in our luxurious Executive suites added to our delight. The only downside was the occasional delay in service at the pool, which could improve, alongside the need for more varied snack options throughout the day.

    A birthday surprise to remember

    I was genuinely surprised when I entered my room to find a delightful birthday setup waiting for me, along with an unexpected room upgrade. The kindness of the staff made my special day magical.

    While everything else was superb, it would be better if they communicated more clearly about the checkout timing and meal inclusions, as there was a bit of confusion regarding lunch after checkout.

    spacious family room
    delicious breakfast
    clean pool area
    small wait

    We had a fantastic stay, especially enjoying the spacious two-bedroom family room and the delicious breakfast that had so many options. The beach access and clean pool area were perfect for unwinding with the family. The only hiccup was a small wait at the restaurant in the evening, but it didn’t overshadow our experience at all! ☀️

    great service but some small areas to improve

    The staff offered excellent service throughout our stay. Their attentiveness and friendliness, especially Bryon at the front desk, made our family feel welcomed.

    The only minor drawback was the noise from nearby events that occasionally disrupted our relaxation.

    shaded areas

    The resort is a family paradise with stunning sea views! The kids absolutely loved the kids club—immersive activities every day. We indulged in delicious meals at the Indian restaurant, with top-notch service from Surojit and Vishal, making it a memorable culinary delight.

    In my wife's opinion, more shaded areas by the pool would make it comfortable for families with little ones.

    room descriptions
    pool umbrellas

    Rooms can feel overcrowded due to misleading descriptions—some 'sea view' rooms only partially deliver as advertised. Umbrella availability at the pool is a problem, with limited shade when the sun's blazing. The reception process can be confusing and frustrating. for example, restaurant bookings were mishandled, requiring unnecessary follow-ups. It’s also worthwhile to note that the hotel has strict policies that can make guests feel uncomfortable at times, such as being questioned more rigorously than others by security and unexpected charges for visitors.
