I would give this hotel a mixed review. Lots of great things overall though: good food and drinks, beautiful interior and grounds, love the easy access to beach and the yard with beach chairs, wonderful salon and spa. Our room was so disappointing though. The hotel has a very luxurious feel, but it’s an instant let down when you enter your room. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable, old flat pillows, only instant coffee, no face cloths. It just felt like a very basic and cheap hotel room.

The double room we reserved and pre-paid, had garden access, but smelt of damp/mould/mildew with an acrid cleaning chemical odor note Accepted another room, even though it was at a lower tarrif and had a sewage smell in the bathroom, the Manager demanded we sign a NDA document, and never offered to compensate in any way Despite staying almost a week and paying for a second room (occupied by family members), the Manager treated us with distain, and avoided us on check-out. One doesn’t need this arrogant attitude and rude approach when paying good money for a below-average Hotel

Nice Adult only hotel

The hotel is at the quieter end of the resort overlooking a beautiful wide sandy beach. We had a large clean bedroom with a big comfy bed and a good sized bathroom with powerful hot shower. Nice side sea view though the balcony is small in comparison to the bedroom but adequate. Tasty breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea and lots of choice. We would definitely visit again.

Great adults only hotel overlooking the ocean

Really enjoyed our 10 night stay at the Oriental. The hotel enjoys an enviable position above the pristine beach with plenty of tables, chairs and loungers. There is an intetesting all day menu available & an extensive evening buffet. What stood out most though were the staff. Always smiling, helpful & ready to serve. We will definitely return.
