“Rooms were clean, 2 great pools with a bbq area at the kids/family pool. Food and cocktails are delicious, and was a beautiful place for a family wedding. Great service by all staff at the reception, restaurant and bar. Only thing I’d say for us personally is that it would have been good if we were able to book up breakfast/coffee and food/drinks prior to midday onto our room account. Also cash payment to check out would have been easier for us. But a wonderful stay and would stay here again.”

“We recently enjoyed a lovely breakfast buffet with our family, friends, and relatives at BreakFree Aanuka Beach Resort, and it was such a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, relaxed, and perfect for a family gathering. The breakfast buffet had a great variety of options to choose from. There was something for everyone — from classic hot breakfast items like eggs, bacon, sausages, and hash browns, to lighter choices such as fresh fruits, cereals, pastries, and toast. Everything was well-prepared, fresh, and consistently replenished. The coffee and juices were also a great addition to start the day right. What made the experience even better was the beautiful resort setting. Dining with a tropical and beachside vibe really added to the overall experience. The surroundings were clean and well-maintained, and the dining area was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our big group. The staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made us feel relaxed and well taken care of throughout the morning. It was a perfect place to slow down, enjoy good food, and spend quality time with loved ones. Overall, we had a fantastic breakfast experience and would definitely recommend it for families and group gatherings. We look forward to coming back again soon!”

“We had a great stay there. The restaurant served delicious food at reasonable prices, which was a big plus. The property also has a lovely pool with a great view, making it a perfect place to relax. The room was clean and beautifully presented. The bathroom was high quality, and the spa was clean and well maintained. There weren't enough coffee supplies provided for our three-night stay - only enough for one night. We had to go to reception to request additional items. Also, the car park is about a 200-metre uphill walk to the room, and there was no luggage service available to assist with our bags. This was a bit inconvenient, especially when carrying heavy luggage.”

“My wife and I stayed from Saturday night to Wednesday morning. Overall it was in our opinion was a bellow average place to stay. Apon check we had to drop our bags at reception then drive away to find a carpark, unfortunately there were no carparks close by so we had to walk from where we parked around 100 to 150 meters back to reception and then take our luggage to our room unassisted. It was extremely busy on the Saturday night with a wedding (in a separate area) and normal patrons as well. Restaurant was bellow average, when we asked at reception apon check in we were told we didn't need to book a table for dinner but when we arrived there were no seats and we were squeezed in (sardines comes to mind) there was also not much of a choice of meals either and very pricey for what was offered it was extremely noisy. Kids were running around the accommodation area late at night and disturbed us on several occasions. The two really good points were there was one of the girls on reception that was very nice and helpful and the lady at the Breakfast service was also very nice and helpful. Maybe we were put off most from the girl who originally checked us in "rolled eyes much" We would not stay again. Could go on but I will stop now. This is our opinion and its valid. Maybe your experience will be different.”
