5/5 Excellent
"Heather at the reception desk was very helpful, the pool was so nice "
"Fabulous resort, great location, but you can’t walk into town. A bit exclusive, and all the better for that.
Rooms well appointed with bath/shower, Wi-Fi etc.
Amazingly NO gym- you have to get a taxi to the country club across the road. The USP for us was access directly to 4 mile beach, except when the tide is up and of course you can’t swim in the sea! Over the 5 nights we ate twice in town, and 3 times at the fusion beach bar in resort…the dining room was too smart, and the casual dining room was EMPtY. Great little coffee shop in lobby for a light breakfast. You have to use SR coaches to get in and out of town which adds the the costs, but they are fine and take you to the airport too. Pools and facilities wonderful and they are cleaning all the time!"

"The area is very private, surrounded by beautiful gardens and ponds with lotus flowers and water lillies. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Many day trips pick up at the property and it's only a short drive to town or the marina"
