Hai Tide Hotel truly ticked every box for us. The location is unbeatable, right on the stunning stretch of beach, with a handful of local bars just steps away along the sand. The hotel itself is on the pricier side but has two on-site restaurants, which serve beautifully presented, fabulous food. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The gardens are immaculately maintained, and the lagoon-style swimming pool is perfect for a relaxing dip. We stayed in a beachfront thatched cottage, which offered a superb location and lasting memories. The room was kept spotless, with bed linen and towels changed daily, nightly turndown service with chocolates, and even room spraying, which was a lovely touch. The only downside for us was the accommodation itself, the thatched cottages have minimal storage. There wasn’t any wardrobe space, even a simple hanging pole would have made a big difference to our stay. Overall, Hai Tide Hotel though is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting a beachfront escape with great food, attentive service, and a beautiful setting. Despite the minor shortcomings in the cottage, we left feeling relaxed and well cared for.
