Fabulous hotel, great service, fantastic food but the evening entertainment was none existent, after 2 weeks we were bored of going to bed at 9.30pm! Therefore only 4 out of 5 stars as one deducted for the poor evening entertainment/atmosphere.

Let me start my review with something which a traveller, specifically newly weds would not want just at the check-in! False promises and a guest relationship staff highly untrained. Based on recommendations I booked my stay at intercon, I felt the service quality of a 5 star property was worse than a 4 star. They compromised on every aspect of... More

Went for a wedding. The rooms were very nice and neat. The hotel is situated on the beach front. The beach is not the greatest as it has many rocks. The facilities in the hotel are very good. It's a long drive from the airport, about an hour and half. You have to depend on the hotel for transport outside.
