Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Room fab. Pool very clean. Quiet resort.
Negative: Broken down villas in places. 'SPA' was a hut! The rest were all in pieces - NOT like the photos. Service good and food good but very little info given about hotel systems. We waited 2.5 hours for breakfast one morning. In our villa. They forgot to deliver it. Only 3 other people were in the hotel so they were hardly rushed!!!! No access to beach shown to us. No tour of resort or list of amenities. No snorkelling equipment and no chance to snorkel. Very limited information given about resort.
Summary: Pleasant but limited Very little information given to customers. Shown your villa, that's all!
