An oasis of peace and calm in a low rise, well positioned hotel. Very comfortable and spacious bedrooms. The swimming pool areas were exceptional. The Citron cafe was enjoyable - thanks Hayford for the lovely tea and cakes. All the staff were very attentive.

A proper 5 star hotel. Good sized bedrooms, all immaculately clean. Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. The layout round a huge pool area is significantly more attractive than other high rise hotels in the area. The Reunion restaurant provided a good selection of a la carte choices.

Every single member of staff were friendly and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. There are too many to mention but those that we particularly remember are Mustafa in Reunion, Ganesh and Miltom for their wonderful cocktails. All the staff were brilliant. Read less
