The hotel is nestled through thick trees and shrubs, with the convenience of baby cots available on request. Planning an early arrival was made smooth for us, allowing us to catch morning flights. The modern air conditioning complemented the sea breeze perfectly, and the latecomers' restaurant came in handy if dinner was missed.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not ready upon arrival and the noise was a bit bothersome, but the ground floor rooms in front of the pool were absolutely lovely. However, considering the price, this falls short of being a true 5-star resort.
