Paraiso Hotels from S$81

"My wife booked this based solely on reviews and we were so glad we came across it. The hotel is a smaller boutique style hotel. Front desk was soo friendly. Smaller pool in the middle of the hotel which was nice after being on the beach. Direct beach access, they have someone watching your belongings the entire day so if you’re in the water or go for a walk you don’t have to worry about anyone going thru your stuff. Rooms were spacious, we had 2 beds & a deck with a couch/table on so we ate on the deck each morning They do not have a restaurant or bar which initially I thought was a bummer but actually made us walk around and got to try other reataurants. There is a market 1/2 a mile down we actually picked up wine/beer & some small things to make in their kitchenette. *we absolutely would stay here again "

"Nice small hotel with black sand beach with gorgeous sunset and colors. The rooms are nice and large surrounding a mini jungle with nice trees and flowers. There are 2 restaurants-bars on the property that are totally overpriced (5-star hotel prices for a 3-star plus hotel). The staff is nice and the amenities are good. The pool is small and not really clean. "

"We enjoyed going on an eco walk with David and Kat. The staff were great. I just found the entertainment was very minimal. "

"The hotel turns off water every night from 1 am to 4 am or so. It is inconvenient with no water. Also be careful with the charges even if you have paid upfront during the reservation. "

"Words aren’t enough to describe the magical vibe of this place! If feels like we are in a jungle but it’s a luxurious resort. On our last morning, we saw a family of howler monkeys on the hotel property trees. About 5 pair of parrots flying by. Other people said they saw humming birds too. The food was gourmet! They have amazing vegan food as well. The garden path to the beach from the resort is an amazing idea. You have best of the both worlds - beach front and hidden jungle resort. The staff are all so nice and welcoming. We will def come back here. "

"The resort was beautiful! The service was outstanding! "

"Pool was great, the hotel was old, needed reno's"

"Breakfast was good and plentiful, Bryan at the front desk had excellent service and answered every question we had. The pool offers great views and has a pretty sweet bar."

"The good: Nice big pool. Nice beach Great clean property Nice big room. We had a 4th floor room with 2 levels so it was spacious and great view of the countryside. Excellent staff. The bad: Food was terrible. We stopped going except for breakfast by the 2nd day. Breakfast thankfully had a fresh omelette, and the italian restaurant was decent. Otherwise we simply couldn't stomach the buffet. Very few choices which didn't change and badly cooked. Thats just not right when you are paying $200 extra a night and could so easily be much better. I felt sorry for the kids that were there as the options were non-existant. They had a beach grill where you could get a hamburger cooked fresh a few hours per day, otherwise the food there looked like it had been there for days and nobody was eating it. The bed was terrible. Old and hard. straight sheet for a bottom sheet so was crumpled up within an hour. Pillows were different sizes and makes but either lumpy or flat. A shame really as they could make this place top notch without much investment."
