Fabulous property: well designed, family rooms were superb. Architectural feel with exceptional kids' attractions that are both fun and tasteful. Food was good, but could be better. Beachfront down a few steps and not very wide, but the pools were ideal so we did not spend much time there. Staff ...

Down the path to the beach turn right 1/2 mile tops. Lovely spot. Rock formations give it many aspects depending on the tide. ENJOY

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lovely for walking on beach before it gets too hot Good sea for swimming

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

The area doesn’t offer much to do except for seeing the rather run down and uninteresting Tsunami memorial and a couple of markets. The highlights are the pristine beaches and lovely ocean.

5/5 - Excellent

There is a really good restaurant next to the hotel called Cafe O which does excellent quality food at low cost and also provides a laundry service. There is also a small mini Mart by the hotel where you can stock up on water etc

We did not venture out much ourselves as was unsure of the area. Only went on organised trips. We did use rhe hotel shuttlebus once but didn't think there was much to do in the area & also the taxi fare can be really expensive.
