It is a good property with an excellent location. The property sits right on the beach so the rooms directly face the sea and beach. One can simply step out of the room into the beach. Be mindful that it is not a private beach but the hotel's position is such that there are no outsiders in the beach. The rooms are basic and have air-conditioners. Having said that, the water pressure in the bathroom is very low so one can't have a good shower. On top of it, the tap and shower water is salty so those who allergies, kindly refrain. The hotel has one restaurant with a limited menu. The buffet breakfast is good with a wide spread. For local transport, Uber is easily available.

It was first time to stay at Jacarandas. We chose it to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, and we were very pleased. It came highly recommended by friends that have oftentimes stayed here. Staff was excellent, professional, and always helpful. We will continue to recommend and return ourselves.

The property is absolutely NOT disability friendly at all. It was even impossible to get a cushion for the rattan patio chair outside of our room, despite repeated requests. This made the beautiful patio otherwise useless. The internet is completely useless as well. I’ve traveled the world, but cannot recommend this place. However, the staff is amazing.

We liked the place for its serene nature, very clean beach and a quiet to place to relax. The food was good and there was a good entertainment programme with an in-house team of entertainers. The only area of concern for us was that the bathroom water was hard and the soap provided could not lather well for a good shower. Proximity to local shops was helpful and we were able necessary supplies. Another concern is drinking water - the hotel provides 500ml of water a day and if you require more you will have to pay for it! This I think is something they could look into given the warm weather that requires frequent rehydration

The food needs a i little bit of improvement. First 2 nights the dinner was sub par for international standards. Not too sure if it's because there weren't too many guests at the time. It did improve as more guests came but it should always be good.
