Delicious Dining Experience

The dinner was absolutely delicious and prepared professionally. Each of the three courses I had was superb, especially the velvety pumpkin soup. The restaurant is a great place to enjoy amazing fresh and local dinner while soaking in ocean views.

Beautifully Designed Rooms

The room was nicely furnished with a beautiful outlook over the ocean. I especially loved the comfy bed with super soft bedding and the mosquito net above. It was a genuine retreat where I could unwind completely.

Relaxing Saltwater Pool

The small but nice seawater pool was perfect for relaxation. With plenty of hammocks and chairs around, it created a serene atmosphere where I spent much of my time reading and simply enjoying the lovely surroundings.

I had an absolutely incredible time at this hotel! The views from every corner were stunning, and the service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. The dining experience really stood out, especially for someone like me who appreciates vegan options. However, the rooms didn't quite match the luxury I expected from the photos online. All in all, it was a memorable vacation with just a couple of minor hiccups.

I had an amazing time at Kingfisher Village! The food was absolutely delightful, offering a great mix of local and Swiss flavors. The breakfast was definitely a standout, and the hospitality of both the local and Swiss staff made the experience even better. The location is a lovely 10-minute walk from the beach and town, but I did wish there were more options for shaded sunbeds around the pool area. Overall, I can't wait to come back for another holiday!
