The place itself was beautiful, but the beach was dirty and smelled terrible, so I couldn’t even use it. On top of that, the breakfast situation was a complete disappointment. I booked this hotel because it advertised breakfast included, yet when I asked, they only offered me coffee and said I had to pay for everything else. That’s misleading and unacceptable. Because of this, I refused to eat any meals at the hotel. The prices were ridiculously high for tourists. Even the taxis arranged by the hotel were outrageously expensive, clearly taking advantage of visitors. Yes, the location is nice, but I would never recommend this hotel. I wasted a lot of money in a very short time and left feeling completely frustrated. Definitely not worth it.

I’m sad writing this review as our week at Alaya has come to an end. It was a magical trip highlighted with the most beautiful hotel and the kindest most wonderful staff. Silvestre, Daniel, Mitsubishi, Stephan, Jonathan, Hugo, Macario and everyone else added to the magic! At the press of a button our every need was attended to with a smile and they made our trip so special. We travel frequently and love exploring new destinations but we already agreed we will be back next year. The beach, the room and the location all could not have been any better. We dined at Michelin rated restaurants as well as food trucks, all walking distance and it was all amazing! Thank you to the lovely staff and we will see you again next year.

We absolutely loved it here! It’s beachfront, & the beach & sun lounges were amazing. You can order food & drinks from the beach - there are servers there. The breakfast was very good. We had the family room with 2 twin beds & the main bed is definitely a full size bed & not the advertised queen. The aircon worked really well. It did take the shower a little while to heat up tho’. They provide robes, but no slippers. The whole property is very rustic as you can see. It was a great stay. I do think it can use a smidge of a refurbishment tho - really just the bathroom sink & shower, but yes, we would stay again.

If you’re looking for a quiet retreat this is not the place . We were in the garden room right next to the kitchen. I heard the kitchen utensils and pots and pans, banging until late into the evening when the kitchen closed and then early in the morning and late at night I could hear children, crying, and scream screaming around us. More of a family retreat. There was only one restaurant on site however, if you wanted to go and choose other restaurants, you could walk along the streets and find other restaurants. It was just a little inconvenient.
