    The place was newly decorated and had very professional and wonderfully helpful staff who behaved in a racist manner, appreciated the stay. The room was a nice size and well-equipped with a King sized bed, a bottle of fizzy wine, as example, could leave my car nearby. This hotel met the purpose in every way, recommend.

    pool area
    beach location

    I enjoyed the pool area, where I spent time relaxing on the sun loungers after long days. The hotel has a nice location by the beach which I appreciated. The service at one of the bars was very slow, and I left without being served. I expected better hospitality considering the area's reliance on tourism. Despite being from Australia and loving the ocean, this experience left me wishing for more.

    non-functional ac
    missing amenities

    We experienced terrible service . Our AC was non-functional, and the staff offered no solutions, not even a fan. Basic amenities were missing, and we repeatedly asked for towels and bedsheets, which never arrived. This terrible communication and service ruined our vacation.

    fine views
    really good breakfast
    well-maintained facilities
    slow service
    poor communication
    noise disturbance

    Fine views from my Premier Balcony Sea View room. Direct access to the beach was fantastic for morning walks. The breakfast buffet really stood out. So many delicious options, I enjoyed trying something new every day. I appreciated the nice layout of the hotel facilities like the pool and spa, both well-maintained. The service left much to be desired. I faced long waits for fresh towels and had to ask multiple times for basic supplies. There was an event happening that created noise and disturbed my relaxation on the last day, but nobody informed me about it prior. The gym was unusable due to equipment set-up for the event. While the hotel is aesthetically pleasing, better communication about such happenings is essential. The room decor could use refreshing, and some doors were challenging to operate .

    Amazing views and friendly vibes!

    The view from my room was amazing, right over the ocean! Staff was super chill and always ready to help. The restaurant offered some solid food options for all tastes. The pool area was perfect for loungin' around. Just wished the check-in process had moved a bit faster.

    Location near the beach is a major plus. Room décor needs refreshing, and the staff seemed unorganized with requests.

    sea view room
    friendly staff
    spotty wifi

    The sea view rooms were super clean and peaceful. We loved how friendly the staff were, especially Kanchana for the surprise birthday party they organized. Don't miss the deep-sea diving and snorkeling safaris nearby. Totally recommend staying here for the fine views and cute atmosphere.

    One downside was the wifi, pretty spotty . It was nice, but we managed to enjoy our vacation regardless.

    fine hotel
    lovely pools

    Ekho surf is a fine hotel with a amazing view from the superior sea view room. It's great location right next to the beach, surrounded by lovely pools. And I especially enjoyed the well-maintained lawn area between the pools where I could relax.
