Ironically we had the best holiday ever because the surrounds, particularly the beach were so relaxing and we really unwound. That unfortunately is where the praise ended. There really is nothing positive I can say about the nexus, the whole place is in desperate need of a revamp, and a good clean. Our room was absolutley disgusting! It was unclean... More

Beds were comfy and beach towels were provided in the room. It wasn't properly maintained though. We stayed there for 3 nights and each night, we... More

We stayed 3 nights at Nexus Villas in a 2 bedroom spa villa. I was expecting a lot when I booked through Agoda. Finally the villa was a 2 bedroom appartment in a 6 floors building, located 1km away from the main hotel (Nexus). Some days, we had to take a shuttle to go there for breakfast, and in any... More

One of the best resorts I have ever been, it was a great honeymoon holiday for us... Since I was the first among my close circles to have booked into this resort, I had to rely on their website and some reviews online, but the stay turned out to be simply amazing. We had an ocean view room, and it... More

Every time we stay at the Nexus it just gets better. This was our fourth stay, and from check in to check out we could not have been happier. See previous reviews for more details on our experiences in past years. The room was fantastic - comfortable, clean and roomy, with a great view overlooking the sea. The breakfast buffet... More

We stayed for 5 days and found the place to be superb. Huge space in lush tropical gardens. An excellent and luxurious sea facing balcony room. A fantastic beach and a short bus ride away from the lagoon with water sports. Excellent breakfast and no complaints about the service and other meals. Highly recommended. More
