If you would like to escape from the city's hustle and bustle this is the best place to be. People's hospitality will touch you. Perfect getaway for the family and also as couple.

Poor communication

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

The staff, the hotel and the Safari experience are great…… Although when we arrived and taken on the tour we were informed that construction work was happing on the beach to preserve the coastline. Sadly the work is happening right in front of the pool which involves two large diggers moving rock which is create a significant amount of noise….. far from relaxing!! The construction runs from 8am -6pm. As a result of this the beach has also been blocked off so there is no view of the sea just a wooden barrier. I feel that the hotel could have explicitly communicated this prior to our arrival, the only email we received was that , maintenance work was happening and from time time you may experience some noise’. No mention of heavy machinery moving and dropping rocks on the beach from 8am - 6am This is a lovely hotel with great staff, but if you would like to relax I would avoid until the construction has finished.
