This property was beautiful. The hotel pays close attention to detail. The pool area is lovely and so are the pool bar staff. They clearly take a lot of pride in their landscaping. The food offerings at the hotel are quite basic, but there are several fantastic options nearby. I wish we could have stayed longer! This is truly an oasis.

Average stay

Pretty average resort. Would need a car to stay here as it’s quite an isolated resort. Decent room, staff friendly. Standard buffet breakfast choices except they don’t have any vegetarian sausages or vegetarian alternatives. Bit expensive for what it is. Personally I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s not too bad so 3/5 ratings from me.

While we stayed at the property during off season, it was a very comfortable, peaceful and serene stay. The property is beautiful, clean and very well maintained. The only negative aspect of our stay was the front desk staff, a man who refused to smile and came across as quite rude on our encounters. Other than that, highly recommend.
