Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

Staying at Beytul Habaib was a great cultural experience. The mix of modern and traditional decor was beautiful, and David's service was excellent. The two-bedroom apartment was perfect for our family. We enjoyed cooking and felt right at home. The views were amazing, with stunning scenes of the island and ocean from every angle. Being close to the beach was a big plus, and my children loved playing there.
