This is a great value resort with lovely staff right on a beautiful stretch of beach. The spa is amazing. The food is a bit hit and miss but we still dined here every night so it’s not terrible. The photos don’t really do it justice.

Wonderful general location and facilities. Nice accommodation. But the room cleaner only came once the whole time we were there. Very poor indeed.

We had wonderful holiday at Kendwa Rocks. Our villa was amazing and looks way better then on photos. The Full Moon Party is a great experience although I'd love to hear more international music. Beautiful beach with lots of entertainment options. Hope to be back one day! Thanks for having us.

10/10

I have travel to many beach resorts. By far this was the best place I have stayed at. What made the stay fun and enjoyable was the staff. Every employee was friendly and outgoing. The front desk was very helpful. Answered any question and was helpful. I could name people but it would be to many, everyone was great. Would love to come back one day.

Pros: - Great to stay onsite for Full Moon Party and be able to nip back to room during the night - Full moon party was fun and ticket price was included in stay - Beach is nice with plenty of sunloungers - nice to have regular staff service for food & drinks at sunlongers - easy location to get a taxi to CoccoBello for another party night Cons: - Shower water was only lukewarm so couldn't properly enjoy a shower - asked to have it fixed and it was not done - got the impression that it couldn't be improved? - wifi was almost useless - no wifi coverage in bedroom and again was told this was normal and it doesn't stretch to cover all rooms - wifi very intermitted and bad even in communal areas - room smelt musky / bad throughout - breakfast was quite basic / limited for such a big resort and more expensive cost of stay

Un sejour en famille d’une semaine fantastique! Une plage magnifique ! Nous avons réservé un bungalow famille avec piscine privative. Le seul point négatif la climatisation car elle était mal placée dans l’habitation du coup elle refroidissait pas très bien la pièce principale avec les lits. Le restaurant est topissime , un chef Tunisien excellent une multitude de plats pas chers et très bons, des serveurs toujours souriants et disponibles. Point d’attention pour les personnes à mobilité réduite l’hôtel est essentiellement basé en hauteur avec beaucoup de marche à grimper pour se rendre à la réception ou au parking . Ce sont vraiment les seuls points négatifs .

Un peu déçue de l’endroit. La salle de sport n’était pas fonctionnelle, aucune animation, les serveurs très gentils mais extra longs. Et le système de voucher pour manger au restaurant est tout simplement nul. Trop de contraintes alors que quand on est en vacances, ce n’est pas pour penser à des détails de prendre les vouchers avec soi. Aussi, pas d’eau chaude tout le temps dans la chambre. C’était extra énervant. Sinon c’est très propre; le ménage est fait tous les jours. Les gens sont gentils
