This is going to be a lengthy one, however, if you are interested in staying at here, this will possibly be the only review that is need. For starters, the ride is about an hour and a half away from the airport, which we were aware of. The scenery is beautiful, roads are pretty bumpy but nontheless, it’s beautiful. Upon arrival to the hotel, we assumed we were being kidnapped because the hotel is in an alley on an extremely rocky road with absolutely nothing surrounding it besides trash & wild animals. We were even afraid to leave the van. However, once inside, the grounds are beautiful! Staff is amazing, pools are cleaned daily, food is great & the grounds are very clean. The 3 stars come in when we entered our room. If you are not a fan of insects, do NOT stay here. You will not sleep peacefully! After waking around the room to check things out, we came around tons of dead insects, termites were visibly chewing away at wooden baskets in the bathroom, you can see the wood dropping little by little, huge spiders & dead worms were on the sink, crickets were everywhere, we were killing insects & the robes were as hard as the wooden baskets. I decided to lay on the bed & read my kindle since it was pretty late & the pillows had tons of dead bugs on them. While reading my kindle, I felt something drop on my chest. It was a WORM! The ceilings are decorated with tree trucks and worms constantly fell from the ceiling. We stayed for 3 nights & I am still suffering from insomnia.

The place is fabulous, quite Weather is nice you can see all seasons in one day The resort is quite and nice There are some small details the resort need to consider like: 1- water in room .. 2 bottles for a day is not enough and shouldn’t be chargeable if I need more. 2- the need to install Shattaf in bathroom since many muslims visit this resort. 3- the water in the bathroom is salty 4- must provide tissue in the room

I enjoyed my stay very much. Other than my now fiancé(I proposed there), Ayubu was the highlight of my stay. He was gracious, kind, always smiling, and always uplifting and upbeat of a host. I’ll definitely come back here for my wedding if he is still there!

We liked quality of the furniture around the pool area. We had a pool room that was lovely and spacious inside and out although the beds are a little firm for our liking. Everywhere was very clean and well tendered. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Down side is its a little isolated and quite expensive to get anywhere by taxi. The quad bikes are an excellent idea but we found them overpriced for the 4 hours you got.

Small friendly resort very well run The pool area is really nice with a large pool, rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. As there is nothing much around the resort most people stayed on at nighr to eat and good was excellent. The best thing about the resort is the staff they are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble by the time you leave you feel like family.

I loved staying at Blue Moon Resort. However, I wish they had communicated that there is no beach at the resort. It would also be great to have a bigger menu.

This new resort is really amazing, very thoughtfully laid out, great people and service, good food! Communication was so easy regarding transfers. The vibe is very laid back. Beautiful beach and pool ! Great service, lovely staff Room is large, comfortable, quiet; AC unit effective and is so quiet! Loved the front terrace for sitting outside my room Good food and coffee.

8/10 Very good

Decent 4 star hotel.
The staff is great! Very friendly and service minded. They are the best about this place. The food is good but not amazing. Another issue regarding eating, is that there is no restaurant close by. We ended up using a taxi taking us to other places to eat. Expect bout 10 minutes by car to some good restaurants. One night the managed decided to get some things fixed, problem was that this was close to midnight and for about 1 hour there was a lot of noise when we wanted to sleep. I went to complain, the manager just said "sorry" and kept the workers continuing to make the noise. This is why I cannot give top rating. Another thing to be aware of, is that the water in the shower and fauset is salt water! So if this is an issue for you, you might consider other place to stay.
