We stayed at this hotel as it was close to the half moon party. The hotel had a lovely pool and bar, but the rooms really let it down. We had a basic room (which was probably why), but even so there was a really nice relaxed feel about the place. I would recommend this hotel, but if I was... More

We arrived here 2 days before the full moon and the resort was dead like the rest of the island was pretty quiet, it was like having the whole place to yourself. We stayed in the jacuzzi to watch the sunset it was magical and can watch the fishermen walk out on to the sandbanks. We found a livelier bar... More

On arrival we had a bungalow furthest away from the reseption, but the WiFi was not good enough for us and moved to a hotel room, which solved all problems. both room and bungalow were great otherwise, the pool area is amazing looking out over the ocean. The manager was very nice and laundry services and food are highly recommended.

The food in the hotel was... More

I stayed at First Villa for 4 nights. I arrived in the morning and they checked me in early with no problem. I stayed in a beach view bungalow. The main bedroom was clean and spacious. But the bathtub was full of dirt and bugs -but otherwise the bathroom was very clean. The next day when I had my towels... More

There are music and action everywhere with lots of people drinking in every bar; and at the resort its very calm. Have a nice beach and pool with towels. Restaurant is average for the price, however not the best on the... More

Can't understand, why some mysterious people writing some bad stuff about 1-villa - place is amazing! (except of service, if you really worry, how fast staff will serve you beer). pool is nice and area always clean. Room is same, as in 99% of resorts. Nobody will never clean it without notification - so I wasn't shy to ask. Owner... More
