The hotel offers simple but nicely planned rooms that might benefit from some renovation. Our Water Villa was fantastic, kept clean and tidy, which was perfect for our stay close to the sea.

Overall, a decent choice for a few nights stay.

The hotel has everything needed for a pleasant stay, with well-facilitated rooms that cater to every need. However, swimming in front of your bungalow is not possible due to the current.
I stayed at this hotel nestled between reef exits 6 and 7 and found it to be an amazing location. The rooms are air-conditioned, which was a huge relief in the humid weather.
