"We loved this place! The overall setting was stunning, our room was nice and comfortable with the beautiful views of the beach and the pools. The food was delicious and the setting was very romantic. The complimentary shuttle to the nearby town about 20 minutes away was very helpful. The water level on the beach was a little too shallow for our taste, but we still enjoyed it. Two faithful, well behaved dogs on the property had surely added yo the atmosphere! We would love to return!"

"Staff was useless. Both restaurents staff were utterly useless. Even Management wasn't good. I got refused the basic necessity, WATER by the management at the buffet.
The cleaning lady for my room was the best. "

"The grounds are beautiful. The staff was excellent. We had a junior suite that had a plunge pool. It was perfect. The breakfast and dinner are buffet style if you have the half-board package. The selections are good. The other restaurants are included in the all inclusive package or you can charge the bill to your room. The pool is gorgeous with ample seating. The beach is very rocky. Not swimmable unless you utilize the motorboat that they will take you out to the swim platform which is about...

"From check in to the first night, the rating was 0/10. There was an issue with the room assigned to us and were told by a member of staff , that is your room. When the night manager was made aware of the problem, he started the ball rolling to provide an alternate room. Next morning, I was impressed that both the manager and assistant manager, took charge of the problem and relocated us to a different upgraded room. From then on it was 10/10. Room was clean, spacious, grounds very well maintained, breakfast and dinner buffets offered plenty of varied dishes. Well kept swimming pools, including an adult only one. Plenty of non motorised water equipment and an added bonus is that they offer free boat trips to a great snorkelling area, as well as free glass bottom boat trips. Dining and housekeeping staff all very friendly but special thanks to Vu, Vishay, and Stephan in conjunction with the Manager for making it such a enjoyable stay."
"Don’t count on transport arrangements being completed correctly. Got to airport and no shuttle transport had been set up even though I had an email confirming arrangements had been made. We had to get a taxi at the airport. Then they tried to charge us for the shuttle. Never even offered a verbal apology:( "
"We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at the Oberoi Beach Resort.
From the start everything felt so special and effortless - we genuinely could not fault a thing.
What made the experience unforgettable was the people. Every single member of staff was so warm, kind, and attentive, always going above and beyond.
The resort itself is stunning beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect place to completely switch off.
The daily activities were fabulous and added so much to the experience. Sculpture making and painting class were our favourites.
We loved going to breakfast every morning, the menu is divine.
What makes this place even more special to us is that we got engaged here. It could not have been a more perfect. Thank you Aditya for helping my partner to pull it off!
Also thank you to Regini, Harsha, and Rachel - the sweetest housekeeping team ever. Your kindness and attention to detail made us smile everyday!
We are already dreaming of coming back one day. Thank you Oberoi"

8/10 Good
"Great hotel, staff very good and polite and have good communication. Disappointed that a complimentary late check out wasnt available after spending over £2k and staying at the hotel for 8 days. Room card was disabled exactly at 12pm, i had left somrthing in the room when i walked out and couldnt go back in to get it. Quite disappointing to an amazing hotel. Beautiful views across the hotel and great beach. Did not really enjoy the food at the restaurants so chose to order in remaining days. Went to Maritim which is round the corner for some horse riding and there are way better facilities available there.
Overall, still great."
