ES 02 Partial Seaview @The Shore

AlishaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Fantastic stay! The place was spotless, and the host was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We were in a tough spot and needed help at the last minute in the middle of the night, and they went above and beyond to assist us. Check-in was smooth, communication was excellent, and their kindness made all the difference. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean and comfortable stay with an amazing host!

Ecozy Suites

MichaelaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
High value accommodation at a good price, Simeon was in contact with us throughout the stay. At check-in, he was waiting for us at the front desk, explaining everything. He was very kind and helpful. The amenities of the place were perfect, everything was functional. The washer dryer is very useful. We also visited the pool on the 6th floor, the water was clean and the atmosphere by the pool was very nice. Location is within walking distance to markets, shopping center, and especially to the harbor. We will definitely visit again. Strongly recommend. Thank you for a great stay.

Private Pool House Villa With Sea View

EstherRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Amazing Family Stay with a Private Pool – Unforgettable Experience! Our family had a fantastic time at Ocean Villa! The private pool was definitely a highlight—our kids spent hours swimming and playing while we relaxed poolside. It made the whole trip feel extra special and private. The villa was spotless, spacious, and perfectly set up for families. We felt right at home with everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a safe, peaceful environment. Check-in was super easy, and the host was kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. The location was quiet but close enough to restaurants and shops, which made it super convenient for a family trip. This place offered great value and created beautiful memories for us. We’re so glad we chose Ocean Villa and would absolutely love to come back again! Thank you Ocean Villa ❤️

Tranquil Riverside Retreat: Your Serene Getaway

DeepaknathRating, 5 stars11 months ago
We loved staying at Grace Guesthouse. We loved the stream and spent an entire day just playing there. There are spectacular views just outside the house. It's away from any modern amenities, but one goes here to get away from the city life. Would be lovely if we could return here sometime. Thank you for all your help and kindness!

RuichiRating, 5 stars6 days ago
pros: very good location, walking distance (abt 15min) to Gaya street (but the weather is too hot so we still took a grab). also not far from the beach and airport The host was very responsive. The house is large and easy to check in. rooms are clean. good for a group stay. Overall worth the price! cons: It's near the airport, so sometimes the noise of airplanes is annoying. The flow of the shower head is weak...

✨Hidden Gem Luxury 3BR Seaview at Imago The Loft

HRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Late at night, after landing, the internet setting on my phone didn't work well, so I arrived at the airport using the airport WiFi. I only sent a message and left, but the host was already waiting for us in the lobby. It was a trip with three generations, and there was a room where each person could maintain their privacy. There is also a spacious living room, so you can stay together when you want to be together. All amenities were within walking distance, and the convenient and spacious pool was nice. The open sea view from the living room was impressive, and you can see the sunset from the room. I am willing to revisit 100%.
A spacious living area is showcased with modern furnishings, including a comfortable sofa and armchairs. Large windows provide natural light, while the dining area features a table set for meals. An open kitchen is visible in the background, equipped with essential appliances.
