"The room was very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. New thing for us, was everyday our and kids bed were made for night sleep. Two things was a bit annoying: water pressure in the shower wasn’t very good and the noise few nites (probably some kind water generator sound like helicopter on the roof). I want to recommend a water safari trip we booked with the company based in hotel orange T-shirt and our guide Suri. Best to go afternoon. This trip was amazing we were snorkelling with dolphins, and saw so many fish and other creatures. Staff were very helpful."
