    The location

    The private beach was closed on Sundays, which seemed unusual. The room size was listed as 19 m², but it was actually less than 10 m². The food quality was poor, with very limited breakfast options. Although the resort has four floors, there is no lift. The photos shown on Booking.com do not match this property.

    9ShahinPosted on: 4-29-2025

    It's near the beach and food was excellent

    Our check in process staff was not good

    7JosephPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Location, friendly staff. Reasonably good breakfast

    Bed was not very comfortable. Noise aircorn. Could be more cleaner.Access to the beach was restricted due to water logging.

    9NickPosted on: 3-31-2025

    The whole ambience. It's a busy hotel at times, but it still remains quiet and tranquil. The gardens are calming, but, on a slop leading down to the sandy beach, which is really nice.

    For us, we found nothing to complain about. I feel the only thing to bear in mind is that the property is well established and some rooms and bathrooms may need a little renovation work at some time in the near future.

    Great location, polite staff, good food and nice rooms with a view of the beautiful private beach.

    Car parking is limited and not covered.

    1MitraPosted on: 3-28-2025

    Some of the food served in breakfast

    Cottage type rooms, cleanliness of the rooms. Some of the foods are oilly, the staff are not helping. they could not give us the room in good order which we booked with much more money.

    Only view

    Horrible service. Certainly not the place to go with kids. The staff is rude and non responsive. The food in the restaurant is average at best. They served previous night's left over dessert in the breakfast. The mandatory gala dinner on Christmas eve was a scam with disappointjng spread of buffet. They charged exhorbitant amount for this dinner and one can not even opt out of it. Even for something as basic as water, we needed to request multiple times. The security is a joke. Random men were roaming around our cottage, peeping inside. The bathroom had a horrible smell all the time. After complaining multiple times about it also there was no resolution. For everything there was just one excuse that because of peak season they are not able to handle. Finally, there is a clear favoritism towards foreigners and we clearly felt being discriminated against. Overall, it was a very bad experience and we would never recommend anyone to go to this place.

    The room was fantastic, as it was right in front of the beach, and very close to the pool. The staff were incredible, and very kind, and helpful. If anyone of you reading this, get's a chance to meet Jolly from the restaurant, let him know that Gandhi from Canada says hello. The room was in the perfect place, as it was very close to the beach, and to the left of the pool. If you get a chance, ask the pool guy to get a coconut from the tree, and they will cut it down for you, so you can enjoy your fresh coconut by the pool.

    This is not applicable for Soma Palmshore.

    Restaurant food and staff great

    Internet in the rooms would be a plus

    8HelenPosted on: 9-21-2024

    We had a few mishaps with our room. The hotel manager was very obliging to assist with our issues & compensated us by providing a complimentary lunch & dinner, in which we were very grateful. Highly recommended to eat in restaurant, as the food was absolutely delicious & the young waiter there provides 1st class service!Our stay ended up being pleasant.The gate to the private beach is closed, however, this is understandable as the majority of domestic visitors can't swim. We used the stairs on the side of the resort to access this clean beach for a swim.The resort has a lovely view of the ocean.

    Location is good

    Slow room service... rooms were not clean before we arrive.. I could feel the sand on the floor in my room

    8AndrewPosted on: 6-1-2024

    lovely location overlooking beach from headland

    They had overbooked & tried to move me to another hotel 10km away. I refused & eventually they found an available room

    8JonPosted on: 5-20-2024

    Great location lovely private beach in the restaurant jolly was the best member of staff going and looked after our every need beyond belief, also at night keep an eye out for the flying fox bats they are amazing and if you get a chance go to the local fish market

    The hotels a little bit old and tired and could do with a good clean, the balcony was also very unusable as the air conditioning made it far too hot and unusable but it wasn't a massive problem as we spent most of the time in the beach
