We went for a beach side bungalow with pool, and it was amazing. Great location and very friendly staff. (Plus it’s a five minute walk from the Muir night markets which was a great way to grab dinner a couple times a week.) we would definitely stay here again.

We popped in for cocktails one afternoon (they have happy hour!) and also dinner. Wonderful location (right on the beach overlooking the lagoon), great service and a very high standard of food. It was lovely to spend time here, even though we didn’t stay here. Raul, the manager & his staff were wonderfully attentive and friendly. You can see why people get married here too as it’s a beautiful venue with the decor so thoughtful & considered. We saw one wedding and it was beautifully set up and wedding party looked overjoyed. A marvellous place to pop in and have a more high end experience. Relatively quiet and chilled, just perfect for what we wanted. Will definitely consider staying here next time, we got to look at one of the villas and they looked divine. Huge bathroom & main room, 4 poster bed & personal plunge pool and sunbathing area too. In the main shared area the infinity pool looked so inviting with views across the lagoon. Paradise found!

We didn't stay here, but we did hold my sons 21st here. we had about 18 family members with us, I planned this with their wedding planner and I cannot fault the communication we got. We where tucked away a little big to the side which was a big bonus for some privacy and it also had walk down access to the beach which was beautiful. We went with a buffet style dinner and all of the food was so good! We got a cake made through their baker/chef and they done such an awesome job! So well priced and overall with the event itself we where so happy with everything. Staff where amazing and welcoming that we ended up coming back multiple times for happy hour

We came for dinner here recently, to celebrate our anniversary. We ordered the sourdough bread, I ordered the Catch of the Day, and my husband ordered the Black Angus beef. My fish was undercooked, and the accompanying roasted vegetables were way overcooked. The beef was good but portions were small to the point that he had dessert, which he almost never does. We both ordered the Pina Colada cheesecake, but were served a mango cheesecake with no explanation. Delicious but disappointing. Service was fine. Although I mentioned it was our anniversary when I booked online, nothing was said. We thought for the size of the portions, prices were high and there are lots of other restaurants to try next time.
