Location:
The hotel is on the south coast good for astrophotography for southern sky objects
Commute to airport : very scenic route
Commute to north: via B102: the most beautiful sceneries you can expect
Secure parking.
My score :9 out of 10
Beach:
Not the greatest on the island. You need protective footware, or you’re highly likely to pickup foot injuries from sharp broken coral and/or volcanic rocks
I’ll give it 6/10
Staff:
Mostly kind and conscientious; a few do need updated training as they can come across as a little rude
My score: 7/10
Amenities:
Kids activity, baby sitting, water sports, spa/hamam present and all well presented
8/10
Eateries
There are 5 options within the hotel:
1- buffet restaurant :
Very limited in my view, hygiene not always observed (see my pic of coffee machine as an example); not value for money, staff not always polite, however a great setup with open access to garden/pool- I’ll give it 1 out of 10
2- la playa beachfront restaurant:
Top quality food, extremely professional staff (won’t forget Rahul’s kindness to my daughter), extremely romantic setup, albeit a little overpriced (see pics of tiny lobster costing 2800rp, £50 approx)
I’ll give it 7/10
3- Burger van
A cute addition to the hotel
5/10
4- bar food
Typically fried stuff can be ordered, (chips, calamari, samosas etc)
Great ambiance with the pool and live music area
6/10
5- room service
Good, clean, tasty
7/10
Room:
Adequately decorated, aircon, good size
