    “日常生活を離れてリゾート生活を送るのに最高のホテルだった。メールで空港でのピックアップサービスをお願いした。ドライバーはゆっくり安全運転で、支払いは直接ホテルにします。かなり早めにチェックインしましたが直ぐ部屋に案内してくれました。朝食/夕食付のコースは朝も晩も最高に楽しめる内容でした。中庭のプール設備は素晴らしいし、敷地も広大で散歩にも事欠きません。スコールの日はベランダの大きなジャグジーを楽しみました。蛇口からの湯量が豊富で短時間で一杯になります。リゾートライフを満喫しました。”

  • Eexcellent Food!

    “Both the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffets were amazing - hot and fresh with much variety. We never do a dinner buffet, but we did it twice here! Raymond, the masseur on the beach was great!”

    “Soak tub on every balcony. Spacious and comfortable room. Opulant his and her bathroom with rain shower. Complimentary mini bar stocked daily. 2x room services including turn down service. 2x wings; Garden wing for families, Ocean wing for couples. Amazing breakfasts with a chef on every station. Staff well trained and warm and friendly. Special mention to Clifford who made our breakfasts and our meal at Kozan restaurant extra special.”
