Staying in the beachfront 2 bedroom bungalow with kitchen facilities was a delightful experience. The soft mattress, while exceptionally cozy, might not suit everyone's preference. The location was mesmerizingly by the beach with sea views, providing easy access to nearby town amenities. The service from the managers to the gardeners was outstanding, offering a range of convenient options. The dining experience with homemade products was a mixed bag, carrying certain charms but lacking variety. Overall, a stay here is rewarding with a few minor drawbacks to keep in mind.

The hotel offers great privacy with kitchenette and new bathroom facilities, along with good amenities. However, the pricing could be more competitive. The service is exceptional, from the managers to the room carers and gardeners, offering a variety of convenient options like airport shuttle and welcome drinks. The location is fantastic, just in front of the beach and within walking distance of the popular Tumunu Tropical Garden Bar & Restaurant. The dining experience, although it offers homemade pastries, could be more varied. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped but slightly overpriced.
