    The double room was spotlessly clean, had a work desk, coffee and tea amenities, and a TV with satellite channels, with a pleasant view of the courtyard.

    As trekkers and a group of friends, we loved the beautiful beach with nearby coral islands for exploring. The breakfast options, whether buffet or a la carte, were delicious and included with our room. The staff at Visiwa Beach Resort were incredibly helpful, especially when I had a medical issue. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had their own WiFi link and Netflix. The views from the property were breathtaking and transportation was easily accessible.

    Felt like family, no reason to complain.

    The view was amazing, we could see the ocean from our room which was great! The restaurant had some delicious food and the staff was friendly. The room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom was nice. Plus, the air conditioning was definitely a plus!

    The cleaning staff turned off the AC and left the balcony open, which made the room stuffy and attracted a lot of flies. while the location was nice, there were some aspects that were less than satisfactory.

    The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The cleanliness is impeccable, and all hotel facilities are well-maintained. We were pleased with the tasty and varied breakfast, and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

    Not obvious to find the entrance to the hotel.

    the location was perfect, with barrier islands visible from the hotel. the breakfast was excellent with a great choice of pastries and cakes.

    The beach was not well-maintained, as it was covered with old sea grass. This made it difficult to enjoy the beach or to swim in the ocean.

    This hotel boasts an incredible location right on the beach, providing stunning ocean views from many of the rooms. Guests can walk just down the beach to reach nearby attractions. the rooms themselves are quite spacious and clean, with strong wifi connections and comfortable beds. the staff provides friendly service and the breakfast is a standout feature. the hotel features an Italian restaurant that offers great food.

    The pool is located near the dining area, which can create a noisy and awkward atmosphere for swimmers.
