Luxurious Beachfront Villa

I had the pleasure of staying in a beachfront bungalow with a stunning view of the garden, beach, and sea. The amenities were great and the bathroom was simply amazing. I appreciated the sustainable efforts, such as the steel bottles and ceramic soap dispensers. It felt like a luxurious getaway with all the comforts one could ask for.

Excellence Lies in Every Detail

The dining experience at the hotel was really good. Each meal, particularly breakfast served right by the beachfront, was a feast for the senses. The Italian-inspired dishes were delicious and the attention to detail made each dining experience unique. I felt truly pampered throughout my stay.

The resort offers beautifully designed cabins with stunning beach views, making it a perfect place for relaxation. The restaurant serves good Italian food, though it can be a bit pricey. The attentive service is a double-edged sword—while it’s great to have help, at times it felt a bit excessive. The beach area is immaculate, but the resort could improve on their sustainability practices.

I had a fabulous time at this hotel, which is tucked right on the beachfront with stunning views. The bungalows were surrounded by beautiful gardens and offered direct beach access, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The dining experience was great, especially with the open-air restaurant, but I found some dishes a bit pricey compared to local options. While the facilities were fantastic, I did struggle with the evening noise from local festivities, which was a bit disruptive during my stay.

Overall, I had a wonderful stay at this resort on Ngapali beach. The location is absolutely stunning, with direct access to a pristine beach and beautiful surroundings. The beach cottages were clean and such a joy to stay in. While the dining experience was generally good, there were some minor issues with service at times. The facilities, especially the beach loungers, could use a little improvement in service. But all in all, I found it to be a great value for a relaxing getaway.
