Our stay was exceptional, especially the breathtaking views from our room and the incredible service from the staff. However, we were a bit disappointed by the food temperature on some evenings and the inconsistency in enforcement of the dress code. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway that we are eager to rebook.

Pandanus Beach Resort offers a wonderful escape right on the Indian Ocean, showcasing clean and spacious rooms with stunning views. The swimming pool is well-kept, and the staff is generally warm and eager to help. However, I did experience some issues with smoke from the restaurant affecting my stay, and a few insects were a nuisance in the room. Overall, it's a solid choice for beach lovers looking for relaxation.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with an exceptional beach view and wonderfully attentive staff. The dining options were diverse and delicious, though some food could have been served warmer. The rooftop bar was a major letdown as it was rarely operational, affecting the overall experience. Despite these setbacks, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and would gladly return.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pandanus Beach Resort, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, perfect for walks or just relaxing while enjoying the view. The room was spacious and came with a huge balcony that offered breathtaking views. However, the service could use some improvement, as there were times when it felt unresponsive. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, especially for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The staff went above and beyond, and the food was consistently delightful, catering to a variety of tastes. However, it was a bit disappointing that diet drinks weren't included in the all-inclusive package. Overall, it's a fantastic spot that I would happily return to.
