Visited October 2025 (end of season). The hotel is amazing - immaculate, fastidiously clean, welcoming and comfortable. Pros: The beach area and lower restaurant are fantastic. Great service, the beach access is safe, private, and tranquil. We had a pool suite - amazing. Easy access, quiet whilst being 'in the midst', so comfortable. All staff are professional, diligent, and supportive. Generally - cleaning, professionalism, service... top notch. Friendly and accommodating. The service, bar, food - all very good. Cons: Not a lot of vegetarians or vegans come here - take care if ordering from the vegetarian menu, maybe use the main menu and ask for ommissions. Trust me... Overall - amazing, would *totally* recvomend! Brilliant stay!

07 · Questions

Asked along the way.

Can we have a ceremony on the beach or must it be held inside?+

The hotel offers flexible ceremony locations including beachfront setups, terraces overlooking the gulf, and indoor spaces. Beach ceremonies require coordination with local tide schedules and weather contingencies.

What is included in the room blocks for wedding guests?+

Guest room rates typically include breakfast, beach access, and basic amenities. Wedding packages often negotiate discounted rates for blocks of 10+ rooms. Ask about complimentary room upgrades for the couple.

What is the maximum guest capacity for events?+

Indoor and outdoor event spaces accommodate up to 150 guests. Smaller intimate celebrations of 20-40 guests work well on the terraces or beach areas.

Are there restrictions on wedding dates or seasons?+

June through September are peak season with highest prices. May and October offer excellent weather with lower demand. Winter events are possible but some beach activities become weather-dependent.

Can we bring our own vendor or caterer?+
