Pros:

wonderful surprise birthday message for my wife. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our celebration even more special. We truly appreciate you taking the time to make her birthday memorable.

Cons:

Unfortunately, a number of the dishes listed on the menu were unavailable, which limited our choices. We ended up ordering an alternative meal, but sadly we were not satisfied with it. We thought it would be helpful to bring this to your attention

Pros:

Spacious rooms, fully fitted kitchen.
Breath taking views.
Friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

No halaal food.
The chef did offer us pre-packaged frozen halaal meals,options were very limited and they were expensive so we opted to self cater all meals.

Exceeded our expectations
Pros:

The entire house was super clean. It has everything you can require at home, ranging from utensils to barbeque area and basic toiletries. We booked apartment with a garden view, however we were upgraded to the one with sea view. The staff also were super friendly and helpful, they even offered to take our suitcases from the car. We are planning to book again, now with the kids.

Cons:

The only thing is that there are no closerby supermarkets which is not really a big deal as there is an internal restaurant
