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.

A beautiful resort with all more than necessary amenities. Delecious food, nice view, quiet and spotlessly clean. I mean, what do you want?! Stay at Jacaranda and I am sure you will remember the name for a long time to come.

Price/quality has dropped
Check in was rather bad than helping. after 45 min waiting and explaining the 3rd time she's waiting for a feedback I decided to have a drink. The rooms were shown in the picture were not the room I got. I stayed in the same hotel before, food wise a full step down in offer and variation. There was no meal without finding empty trays...asking for do you have more of this and that. Pool guard was very friendly and willing to help. Waiters....2 out of 10 cut at least bring a smile in their face. the remaining seems not very interested. I wouldn't go again.
