Perfect place for a mid week stay to relax, unwind and enjoy the gorgeous setting
Pros:

During the week, the resort is awesome, beach is clean soft sand and the water is beautiful. Beach activities nearby if you wish. Concierge really helpful in booking taxi services and excursions. Really enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Stragglers from the full moon party make the resort more full and the staff less enthusiastic. Luckily it was just for one day though.

Perfect beach
Pros:

Kendwa Rocks is a hotel with an amazing beach, one of the most beautiful beaches I saw. The sunset here is stunning. Rooms are big and spacious with everything you need for your stay. The food in the restaurant is very delicious.

Cons:

The sunbeds on the beach are quite close to each other.

Pros:

Viskas patiko.. Kambarys buvo labai geras palyginus su kitu viesbuciu.. Salia paplūdimio. Sveciu aptarnavimo darbuotoja Mariam jums didelis ačiu uz viska padejo visais klausimais ir susirgus viesbutyje buvo greitai sureaguota ir nuvezta i ligonine.. ir toliau vien tik rūpestis ir klausimai kaip sveikata ar nieko netrūksta ir ar viskas gerai🙂 Nu tiesiog puikiai visi labai paslaugūs ir malonus 🫶pusryčiai puikus👌

Excellent hotel with very friendly personnel and super value.
Pros:

Very nice personnel, clean, good food, top location on the beach.

Cons:

Sellers maybe a little close at times? Understand that this is difficult to avoid with the immediate proximity to the beach/ocean.

Tutto bene sino alla festa del full moon party, che mi ha veramente deluso soprattutto per come mi ha trattato il ragazz
Pros:

Posizione ottima il bungalow con piscina privata, veramente bello, ma il punteggio è alto solo grazie a questo

Cons:

Il cibo è da migliorare e magari aumentare un po’ di scelta, per le cose particolari e piatti locali servirebbe una foto per capire bene di cosa si tratta, il personale comunque è tutto abbastanza bravo, se non fosse per il ragazzo alla cassa per la prenotazione del tavolo per il full moon party, a cui ho pagato il tavolo 500.000 scellini per averlo in buona posizione. Poi scopro che invece ci stava mentendo in un posto non proprio consono., ho dovuto reclamare, e lui si stava anche alterando senza averne la ragione, essendo la terza volta che vengo in questa struttura, è la prima volta che mi capita una cosa del genere vorrei puntualizzare anche sul cibo di questa festa che rispetto alle altre a cui ho assistito era molto lontano dall’essere buono, diciamo che questa volta la festa non è stata organizzata nei migliori dei modi sicuramente non prenoterò +1 tavolo per questa festa.
