Really good beach side resort. Cute little huts with two rooms each or a bungalow type hut with just one room in the ground floor. Great breakfast buffet and private access to the beach made it very convenient. The beach itself was amazing, very quiet. Many options to eat outside of the resort and it’s situated right across from a super market which was also very convenient.

Excellent hotel! We stayed for 2 nights and it was wonderful experience. The service is very good: at the hotel reception, at the restaurant, bar, pool and above all the house keeping (thanks Krishna). It’s a peaceful and well maintained properly. The room was spacious, with all is needed, with nice balcony surrounded by nice garden. The restaurant is very good, local and international cousin. The beach is in a walking distance and super clean. We recommend to see the sunset and to stay for another 30 minutes after to see the colors of the sky changing. Highly recommended place to stay. For singles, couples, and families. Next to the hotel you’ll find shopping center, and few great restaurants. P.s Thanks for the reception team for the hospitality!

A beach touch resort with great service

I and my wife went to Novotel with our 1 year old for our anniversary. Although the original room allotted to us was in need of some maintenance, the hotel staff was kind enough to understand that and gave us an alternate room which we enjoyed staying in over next couple of days. The seagull and the housekeeping staff was very friendly and prompt in their service. Special thanks to the chef for accommodating a custom recipe request for our 1.5 yr old. Also, special thanks to housekeeping folks who decorated our room with towel swans and teddy. They also have a nice big swimming pool that both kids and adults would find fun. Altogether the inflated float tubes were not available for the kids. Our li’l one enjoyed the pool thoroughly though so no complaints. The beach is right behind the property so one can access and enjoy it anytime. Overall experience lives up to Accor standard.

1/10 Never recommended

We booked three rooms and a rental car in advance for a three-day stay, paying in full. **Day 1:** At check-in, the reception staff refused to give us the rooms we had booked near each other. Instead, they forced us into different, far-off locations because they had assigned our rooms to a company group that booked the same day. It took nearly two hours to check in, and the staff was unhelpful and uncooperative. How can they prioritize a last-minute company group over our pre-booked family trip? **Day 2:** With the company group checking out, they offered us an upgrade to rooms nearby, but the process took half a day, ruining our second day as we spent most of it moving rooms. We also faced issues with our rental car. Every time we left or returned to the property, a local rental union harassed us, insisting that only their cars were allowed. The resort's security seemed to side with them. When we raised our safety concerns with the resort reception, the staff again refused to assist. **Day 3 (Checkout):** Things escalated when our taxi driver arrived to pick us up. The resort security refused to let him in, leading to a heated argument with the union members. This frightened my family, especially my mom and kids. When we asked the resort reception for help, they refused, telling us to move our luggage outside the parking gate to board and offering no further assistance. It was shocking that they, as hosts, didn’t take responsibility for their guest Horrible experience
