We just spent a week at Idyllic and had a wonderful time. The gardens are wonderfully landscaped with 2 pools to choose from. We had a room on the second floor looking towards reception. The one drawback is that none of the rooms have privacy/sheer curtains, so you are stuck either having blockout curtains drawn all day or having everyone looking in on you. The bed was on the hard side for us, pillows also firm and high. The hotel is right at one end of sunrise beach which means you don’t have all the long tail boats parked right in front of you, although it’s a coral beach so it can be rough on your feet. The snorkelling off the house reef is one of the best ones we’ve seen.
Breakfast buffet was decent. The selection is not huge, but a lot of the hot items are changed daily. There is a lovely chicken noodle bar and also roti station.
The wifi was pretty patchy and slow throughout the property. Staff are polite and courteous, we had an issue with very noisy neighbours and asked to change rooms the next morning which was done promptly with no questions. There is a bit of reno going on throughout, so lounging by the beach will be quite noisey, it looks like they should be done by Xmas. There is only 1 shuttle a day at 6pm to walking street, but it’s literally 5 minutes on foot to reach the top of the section.
