Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The beautiful ambience, stillness, quiet, peaceful, allowing you to chill. Having the pool was perfect and the sea was calm and safe. Outstanding was the food from the breakfast to gorgeous dinners, amazing tuna steaks and barramundi. Great cocktails too looking out across the sunset. Dolphin trip in the morning arranged in the boats at the resort was superb, spinning dolphins!

Negative: No fridge in the tent was a shock, so important in such a hot climate for us from cold climates. This was the only negative as there was the space where the safe was.

Summary: Calm oasis in the desert.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We loved this hotel which is right on the beach with a big pool. The 'tent' was really luxurious, comfortable bed, great outdoor bathroom. Lovely food and helpful staff. We did the dolphin watching trip in the morning which was fantastic - saw lots of dolphins. There are wind turbines along the coast but that didn't bother us at all, would recommend this hotel and will hopefully stay there again.
