We stayed here several times between 2003 and 2010, so 15 years since our last stay. It was just as we remembered. Beautiful view from reception as you first walked in and very friendly staff. We had a delux plus room which was ground floor and sea view (as requested with the help of Dini Naik, guest experience manager). The room was spacious enough with super king size bed and safa and chair with footstool. The bathroom had walk in shower with decent sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. (we had requested non slip mat which was supplied) free-standing bath and separate loo. Two basins and plenty of room for toiletries etc. bathrobes and plenty of towels. Next to this a walk in wardrobe and safe. Terrace had a small sofa and two chairs and a table. Mini bar and water supplied daily. Tea and coffee facilities. Another lovely touch was a small jar of mini cakes delivered each day to have with coffee or pre dinner drinks. We mostly sat around the pool which wasn’t too busy and we could always find somewhere to sit. This is by the quarterdeck bar and we had good service with a special mention to Yovan a lovely young man, so polite and regularly checking we were ok. Actually it was annoying keeping track of the so called All Inclusive. It wasn’t really up to scratch as some things on the drinks were not included unless you had ultra AI which presumably was even more expensive but we weren’t originally offered that. The Belle View restaurant with buffet was excellent and an improvement since we were last there is that it has been enclosed by glass and automatic doors thus keeping the birds off the food. We were greeted warmly by Vimla who we remembered when we last there.We also went one evening to the La Maree which was lovely. We visited the tortoises and heard the frog chorus which we remembered well. Not much going on with entertainment, quite low key music with performers singing or playing guitar or keyboard but quite nice for background music. We did have one issue at the La Maree where we had been invited for an evening drink to meet people. We sat at a table and were told we shouldn’t sit there as ‘it’s part of the restaurant’. They pointed to us to sit on beanbags. Being nearly 80 that didn’t appeal so we picked up our drinks and went back to our terrace and never went back there. Having said that, the other staff were all so polite and thoughtful greeting us whenever they saw us. We also enjoyed watching some lovely weddings whilst there. The Indian weddings are so colourful and musical it is a joy to watch. We hope we will be able to go back soon, it’s a bit like going home!

A fabulous, friendly resort. I felt welcome & comfortable as a returning solo traveller. My stay was only a week but it was the perfect place to relax on the beautiful beach and recharge. Best of all, you can always get a sun lounger and there is the option of plenty of shade. For snorkelers, there is lots of marine life just off the beach and I even met a sea turtle! The food is consistently lovely. I was also fortunate enough to be invited to the resort’s 35th birthday celebration. It was a wonderful event, celebrating the service of employees who have supported guests for the whole 35 years. The entertainment, the food & the company was outstanding.
