Period of the stay : Jun 21, 2009
About the hotel:
great!! we feel like real vip people. The beach is quite small, and not very deep, but near there are very beautiful beaches (you can go by bike or moto). The breakfast was incredible, and the rooms huges. We were in a beachfront cottage.
About the reservation service:
great, quick, with no problems

Period of the stay : Dec 25, 2006
About the hotel:
A well laid-out structure that ensures privacy and extensive facilities. Good for families and indeed kids were running around and for us just a bit too lively. Villas are well spaced and fairly large and comfortable. Only two restaurants that serve practically the same food so choice is wanting and on the pricey side. No shuttle to town so could be a problem if you want to get out of the compound. Beach is private but sand rough and quite a bit of waves and water muddy in parts. Service great with a smiling staff.
About the reservation service:
Very efficient and delivered fully.

Period of the stay : Feb 18, 2006
About the hotel:
Excellent, everything we hoped for - 11 days of bliss. Refined and quiet. Only complaint would be that the wine list is over-priced.
About the reservation service:
Flexible and first class.
