The hotel might not live up to its 5-star rating, with rooms having an old, musty smell, but the bathroom seems newly renovated. The service is kind and helpful, but could benefit from training in certain areas. The location, particularly on an Indian Ocean Island with stunning pools, is a real highlight. Dining had enough variety but was marred by flies and wasps. Overall, a mixed experience with potential for improvement.

The rooms had an extremely old, musty smell and looked below 3-star quality. However, the bathroom seemed newly renovated.

Service

While the service was really kind and helpful, there is a need for serious training in certain areas to match a higher-end hotel standard.

Location

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, with their modern Oriental furnishings and stunning sea view, were comfortable despite being a bit moist. However, the proximity to a slightly dirty area was a drawback. The service was exceptional, with friendly conversations and daily housekeeping. The location, with its three beautiful pools, was impressive, while the dining experience left much to be desired with insects present and the relatively high cost without drinks included.
