Relaxing
Pros:

The beautiful modern loft, privacy, peace and quiet. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the ocean waves at night. Adults only, beautiful ocean pool. The most comfortable bed and shower. We really loved all the tea, coffee, fruits and champagne that was gifted. The kitchen was fully equipped with great equipment to cook any meal with. The tapas bar had really nice atmosphere for a romantic dinner with ocean view, drinks and meeting other tourists. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We would love to stay here again. Great location to cafe, petrol station, supermarket and burger joint.

The staff were amazing, the location is great. It was nice and quiet, the room was clean and comfortable. Hands down the
Pros:

The property is located in a great spot. It is quiet because it’s away from the busy areas. It is close to a conscience store and the most populate burger place on the island. It’s away from the busy areas of the island but still close enough to everything you need. The staff were amazing, so accomodating. The room was perfect. It has everything you need. The food at the tapas bar was excellent and celiac safe.

A most idyllic spot
Pros:

Ocean Escape had everything we needed and more.
True beachfront villa, with the ocean right on our doorstep. As well as a beautiful salt water pool, delicious tapas and an amazing view at BJ’s, a relaxing massage at the spa and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. We will be back! Thank you for all of the little touches that were provided.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

The resort was absolutely everything we wanted - staff were beyond friendly as soon as we got there, the owners treated everyone like friends, the bar staff remembered our names and even greeted us in the mornings! Besides that, the location was perfect, right near car rentals and other snorkelling areas. I would definitely recommend ocean escape resort and we will definitely be coming back!

Würde gerne wieder hier unterkommen
Pros:

Einer meiner Lieblingsunterkünfte währed meiner Weltreise. Hab mich sofort sehr zu Hause gefühlt in der Villa. Fand sie sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und der Frühstücksbasket den man kriegt, war mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Sonst ist noch ein kleiner Supermarkt neben an. Das Tapas Restaurant und der Burgerladen gleich nebenan sind sehr empfehlenswert. 5min Fahrt zum Muri Beach. Gute Massage im Spa!

Cons:

lasst besser keine Mani oder Pedi hier machen…
Sonst hatte ich nichts auszusetzen.
