Pros:

Atmosphärisch schön. Nicht zu groß, nicht zu klein. Alle Mahlzeiten direkt am Meer. Traumhaft. Die beste Pizza der Welt!

Cons:

Viel angespültes Plastik am Strand. Dafür kann das Hotel natürlich gar nichts. Eher wir alle. Trotzdem nicht schön.

Un lugar fantástico donde relajarse
Pros:

Las zonas comunes están muy cuidadas y la decoración muy bonita. Se come muy bien y el personal es fantástico. Te dan facilidades para todo.

Cons:

Como crítica constructiva aconsejaría quitar las alfombras de la habitación o poner algo que las frene. Parece una tontería, pero resbalaban mucho y tuvimos algún susto.

Cute hotel with great location and restaurant
Pros:

The location right at the sea shore was fantastic and the relaxed ambiance in the garden and pool are pleasant.
The staff treated us wonderfully, and the breakfast and restaurant in general were also very nice.
On the last day we had a late flight and they didn't allow late check out in our room, but allowed us to use the facilities and a shower past the checkout time at 11am.
We felt well taken care of.

Cons:

In the weekend evenings the restaurant got very crowded and noisy, there was a party and an auction on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as a private event on Thursday evening. From our room (n6) we could still hear the music out and loud for a few hours.

Just blah
Pros:

The pool is great though and the pool bar attendant, Robert was friendly and professional

Cons:

The rooms are spacious but very bland with no effort made to make them attractive. There's no room service of phones in the room or tv for that matter. Breakfast is mediocre. Its not a bad place and the location is good but they have clearly decided not to make any effort. Just take what you get. The beach was full of seaweed so I stopped looking forward to morning walks on the beach

Best Price and beautiful hotel
Pros:

The place is so beautiful. The staff was super friendly. Everything is clean and the attached dive center Aqua Ventures is amazing. Everything you need is there, daily water refill, hot water and so much space in the room. Would definitely come back.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

A great stay in a beautiful setting with very friendly people.
Pros:

Super friendly and attentive staff and great food in the restaurant. Really good snorkelling at the reef with a really nice swimming pool. The little cabins were idyllic and said among flowers and trees, and you could hear the ocean from the porch. There is not much there I would change as we had a great stay.

Cons:

Nothing

The resort is beautiful, well kept, in front of the ocean. with beautiful plants and all amenities. It is located close to a big supermarket and 10 min tuk tuk drive to the town center.

We simply loved staying at Ocean Sports Resort!
