    The room was big and elegant, and with a great view of the ocean. Had lovely and stunning location sure to utilize his airport shuttle service so that you are taken care of literally from the moment you walk out of the airport, just close to Aman. Besides, we were so close to the next restaurants, Jua House and the ocean off Shela Beach

    Mornings at this stunning place were pure bliss. The staff were kind, the view was breathtaking, and the sunset on the terrace was pure magic. I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else on the island.

    Oh, how sad! Donkeys need a makeover too.

    The communication with the host was excellent, and the staff were warm and hospitable. the healthy breakfast options, especially the freshly baked bread, were a delight. the communal breakfast table provided a great opportunity to meet and interact with other guests. the beautiful and airy design of the house created a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    The WiFi signal was weak on the lower floors, which was inconvenient. the infrequent changing of bathroom linen every three days was less than ideal for guests who took multiple showers daily.

    Beautifully decorated rooms and super comfortable beds 🛏️. They serve a good amount of delicious local food for breakfast. The location is right next to the beach, airport, and the beautiful waters of Shela Beach.

    The location of this hotel is incredible. It is close to the ocean and offers stunning views, especially from the rooftop terrace. the staff go above and beyond to ensure excellent service, making you feel right at home. the rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and offer a sense of privacy and comfort. the breakfast is delicious and offers a variety of options to choose from. the hotel provides an airport shuttle service, ensuring a seamless and convenient arrival and departure experience.

    One minor drawback is that some of the rooms may experience noise disturbances, such as a distant drumming sound, which can affect sleep quality.

    The location was great, very close to beaches, the ocean off Shela Beach, and the best local restaurants. Everything was close by. The breakfast was delicious with homemade bread, and the staff was consistently courteous.
