First off, the beach is rocky in most areas and if you do decide to get in the water you will most likely get stung. Another main issue I had was the bugs. Now I seen they do spray most of the area with something to keep them away but I had my whole body covered in stings by the end of my trip. Another thing is I came here for my honeymoon and they didn't take that into consideration at all. Even though we discussed it and they told me about how I have the honeymoon package. DO NOT GO FOR YOUR HONEYMOON. Next is the food, terrible. Everytime you try to book somewhere they make it such a difficult process to book at the restaurants. I've been to multiple different countries but this one was the most disappointing of all and I think it was because of this resort I chose. The entertainment at night is pretty boring. And you only have a couple things to eat. The breakfast buffet was good. Right when we arrived they made us waste almost 6 hours in the lobby. They didn't even take us into consideration and kept ignoring us. I didn't pay thousands of dollars to get treated this way. Terrible experience, DO NOT recommend at all. If you are thinking of coming here, don't. Also be ready to spend another 2k just on food. The restaurants are usually a very long walk away and the transportation takes so long to get there. We waited in the airport for so long. Also the boat to get there is a very risky ride. Water getting all over your things. The pool closes very very early as well.

The location and premises are great, especially for kids. Our AC was broken and did not get fixed until the fourth day and third attempt. Once it was fixed, no question whether it was fixed or not was asked. Hence, no compensation was offered which is not a pleasant service, especially given the fact that 3/4 got sick due to the AC. Service with restaurant bookings can absolutely be improved as they are not effective and most restaurants have empty tables every evening.

Our best vacations ever! The hotel was incredible, with many activities do have fun. The food was super good and the staff was the kindest and most friendly we have ever met in a hotel. We spend our honeymoon here and the extras we got for this were super cute, specially the couples massage. The food was super tasty and to be honest this was quite surprising as “all inclusive” packages then to be quite average, but in this hotel every detail is a different level, and food was just amazing. The staff … dont know even where to start… they were just so nice, helpful, super polite and friendly… we really felt super sad to have leave the hotel and all the amazing people that contributed to our best holidays ever. We cannot wait to be back! Thank you Kandima for being part of these amazing memories
