8/10 Πολύ καλό

Decent but with unnecessary flaws
I feel conflicting feelings about the hotel.
Truly amazing views, warm waters; a great setting. I visited just after schools reopened in South Africa, so it wasn’t too busy, but during school holidays, it’s packed with families. The adults-only section felt soulless, while the family side had more atmosphere and larger rooms. Thanks to my Hotels.com Platinum status, I was upgraded to an Ocean View Suite on the third floor—fantastic choice.
The Turkish restaurant was outstanding, and the Banyan BBQ burgers were the best I’ve ever had. The beach café serves great daytime food but is underwhelming at night. Service was excellent—staff even brought me ice daily for my back injury (filling a large bath!).
However, drink prices are offensively outrageous - nearly $100 us dollars for two G&Ts at the G&T bar, and $8-$9 for refilled water bottles unless you request tap water for free (which was the exact same bottle!). The WiFi in rooms was not very good and i had to resort to needing the conference centre several times for a video call for work. The hotel “authorised” taxi service is in my opinion a scam—I paid MUR 2,000 (~$40) for a 15-minute ride - in a beat up old car from a “hotel partner” cab. It really rubbed me up the wrong way. Also, they don’t print itemised bills when u check out! crazy.
Verdict: The resort is slightly dated but truly beautiful; good for a solid beach / pool romantic getaway. Just be prepared for sky-high drink prices, poor WiFi, and overpriced taxis.
