Our stay at the resort was absolutely unforgettable! The luxurious tent accommodations were a unique touch, making the experience feel both adventurous and comfortable. Each meal was a delight, with fresh and beautifully presented dishes. The staff, especially Maduka, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved the serene beachfront location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunsets. The only downside was that during peak season, booking in advance is essential to secure your stay.

I had a wonderful weekend stay with my family at this hotel. The hygiene and attention to detail in our rooms were excellent, and we were treated to three delicious meals each day. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff provided personalized service that really enhanced our experience. However, the beach nearby could use some cleaning by the fishermen, and the variety in the menu could be improved. Overall, it was a great value for money.

Our stay was truly refreshing and relaxing, thanks to the spacious tent accommodations and the beautiful surroundings. The staff was exceptional, especially the on-site manager who offered fantastic assistance. However, the dining options could have been more varied, and we experienced some inconvenience with the frequent zipping and unzipping of the tent. Overall, it's a great place for unwinding and enjoying the beach.
