"Good hotel, rooms a bit small and in need of a freshen up, but not to bad. Could have done with a fridge in the Duluxe A/C room that we stayed in. Great food, no upset stomach all the time we were there ( 10 Nights ) Close to the beach, around a two minute walk away, nice pool, always sun beds available to use.Staff were helpful and good fun, they made our stay at the Akhil Beach really nice.

"De locatie op de punt van de zuidcliff is geweldig. Er is een zeer grote tuin met hangmatten en hangplekken. Het strand is makkelijk bereikbaar in nog geen vijf minuten via een makkelijke weg. Personeel is behulpzaam en het restaurant serveert een prima ontbijt en diner. Kamers zijn ruim en met een zitje en balkon. Ik vond het matras te hard.het is een flinke wandeling naar winkeltjes en restaurants, die allemaal in het noorden liggen."

"Interesting stay here. The lobby area is beautiful, centred around a supposedly natural pool and banyan trees, water flowing alongside the paths. We stayed in their cheapest room which was poor condition but pretty clean. Can’t really complain for the price. The owner/manager was like a movie villain trying to be nice, loudly playing sinister sounding chants from reception. The morning yoga was great. The Ayurvedic massage was ok. "
