Vast breakfast buffet was excellent, but would recommend to go earlier to avoid crowds. Rooms were very spacious and we were celebrating our honeymoon and staff made lovely touches to the room to welcome us! Amazing gym with lots of equipment and tennis and pickle ball courts. Spa was great too.

I liked the amazing view of the sunset, mountains, garden, and the early check-in. All the staff were friendly; what I liked most was that the manager was humble enough to talk to guests—asking how they could improve, offering what I needed, and even going beyond that by taking a picture of me, as I am a solo traveler. 😀 Moreover, I took a jungle trek, and it was a good experience—a replacement for the gym, a chance to enjoy nature and hike. I liked the food (you can only rely on their restaurant because I think there are none nearby). The Wi-Fi is a bit intermittent but able to manage work calls. The room is spacious. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, you can come here for a retreat experience. It would not be called Haven for no reason!🥰

    The room was excellent very spacious water supplied. Cold scented towels and refreshing beverages. Staff was amazing we stayed in the ocean wing but even in the garden wing they was helpful whenever we went over there. Massive bath on the balcony had bubble baths. Was there for as part of my Honeymoon with my wife. Had a Gazibo dinner outside on the sand which was so romantic also

    Enjoyed the pool a lot. It is clean and I can see the staff took care to maintain the pool cleanliness everyday. At certain hours there are pool exercises conducted by the staff with music. So relaxing by poolside. Evening swim during sunset is lovely.

    I coildn't recommend this hotel more. My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful stay. The facilities were excellent and all very clean and it is positioned in a lovely quiet location outside the city centre, making for a wonderful relaxing stay with everything you need on site. What made the hotel really standout, though, was the quality of the staff. They were all extremely polite, knowledgeable and helpful. A particular thank you to Izah, Isaac, Nicholas and Edith!

    It was almost the perfect short holiday. Almost... Those looking for peace and a place of pure relaxation, this hotel is ideal. Excellent conditions, adequate cleanliness, well equipped, great staff, a large, private beach, great pools and surrounded by nature... From breakfast to dinner, excellent quality meals and food. And everything is very well organized. We were upgraded for a very reasonable price to the Ocean Wing – larger rooms with a jacuzzi. Amazing.

    the staff were so lovely, generous and thoughtful. nothing was too much for them, and we came to the hotel a few days early to arrange a day trip before our stay with them, and they couldn’t have been more helpful and considerate. it was one of the best breakfast we had in all our trip, and the staff were so generous to upgrade us due to being on our honeymoon. we loved our stay so much, and the pool was a dream.
