Sufficient
Liked Room was sufficient for a one night stay on a layover. However, I would not recommend for any longer. Facilities are very run down. Room was small. And there is no beach access here, not that you would want to get in the water here as it was very dirty. Room was also extremely hot, a/c can only be turned on with key and it was not able to catch up all night.

Wonderful stay in a Castle
Liked My husband & I stayed for 3 weeks at Bella Vista Waterfront Hotel, our annual '2nd home' for the past few years. It was a great pleasure to see familiar faces at the reception - Azila, Qayyimah, Zaki and of course FSM Bryan aka Ibrahim, who all welcomed us warmly.
They always did their best to fulfill our every wish and very promptly too. Super efficient! All the staff from the other Departments were also very friendly & helpful.
We found our room very satisfactory. It had a lovely seaview, a comfortable bed, bright LED lights and an extremely quiet air-con.
The buffet breakfast was varied and plentiful; would have tasted even better if they were warmer! However, food in the Indian section was cold due to lack of ‘keeping warm’ facilities here.
The present breakfast area at the Mezzanine Floor is ok, but being here a few times before, we do prefer & miss the previous location by the sea. That was really a breathtaking view to enjoy breakfast! However, I suppose Management has its reasons for changing the venue.
Unfortunately the shower at the swimming pool is still not functioning, although we have been assured 2 years back that this problem has been solved. There are only a few drops of water coming out, and your pool rules request people to shower before entering. But sorry, that is not possible. Hope Management can rectify this problem.
On the positive side, we were more than happy to see water dispensers on the 1st & 2nd floors. Kudos to BV for your valuable contribution to saving the environment!
The 3 weeks passed too quickly and with a heavy heart, we had to leave.
Zaki drove us to airport. He is not only an attentive and helpful person but also a very good & careful driver.
In my eyes, hospitality is BV's trademark and it can easily beat other establishments in this respect. Keep up the good work!
For now , Bye Bye Bella Vista, our fairy tale castle.
Needless to say, we would like to come again!
