    great access to beautiful beaches and local attractions

    my stay was highlighted by the stunning proximity to Zimbali Beach, just under a kilometer away, and the charming Willard's Beach, only about 2.5 kilometers from the hotel, making it perfect for strolling and enjoying the coastal views.

    A Relaxing Escape with Room for Improvement

    Stayed for two nights in a spacious double room with a breathtaking view. The on-site restaurant served a delicious breakfast, and the freshly brewed coffee was a highlight. For a complete experience, I recommend bringing blackout curtains to enjoy uninterrupted sleep. Also, ensure you understand the entry procedures before arrival.

    Recommend it for families looking to unwind

    Had a fantastic stay staying at this place. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help us, especially when my daughter left her sunglasses at the beach club. Uncle Dennis offered to go back and retrieve them for us, and he left them at the reception so we could easily get them back later.

    It wasn't cheap but still acceptable considering the level of service we received.

    nonfunctional phone
    cramped dining

    The breakfast spread was a total win, especially the homemade yogurt, pure magic! Plus, our Double or Twin Room with a View was cozy, and the WiFi was top-notch—perfect for Instagramming sunset shots.

    Not to mention, the renovations at the trophy bar restaurant cramped our breakfast vibe with a limited menu.

    During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed the serene ambiance and lush surroundings, making it a perfect retreat. The room was spacious with stunning views of the forest, and I appreciated the excellent service from the staff who were always available to assist.

    pool area
    musty smell

    Had a fantastic getaway with my friends. We explored the amazing walking trails and even spotted some rare birds, which was a treat! The pool area was a hit, and we enjoyed using the clubhouse amenities. I'm glad we took the time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and play a few rounds of golf.

    One issue was that there was a musty smell in our room, which really detracted from the overall experience. It's something that definitely needs addressing for comfort.
