We ordered a margarita pizza (tomato sauce, cheese and basil) and received a curried chicken, corn and...

We had large rooms with loads of space, kitchen, really comfy beds, excellent views from our balconies. The staff were helpful & the pool lovely. We did book nicer rooms that some there & didn't eat so can't comment on the food.

"I would highly recommend Sergeant House. The rooms were very clean, beautifully decorated and good air conditioning. Lots of welcome extras included such as insect repellent, cookies, robes, sunhat and beach towels. The hotel is in a great location but set back from the road so lovely and peaceful. The manager was really helpful in arranging tours and airport transfers"

Happy Banana Hotel & Restaurant

"There was not a beach view from our room. There was also significant building work going on right next to our room, but it was at another property. The beach location from the hotel was excellent, walk straight onto it. The breakfast was flexible with a number of choices. The staff were good and helpful."
