This resort offers a fantastic experience with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and a welcoming atmosphere. The beach huts are quirky and provide a unique stay, but there's no actual beach access; the tides play a significant role. The dining experience is charming, though a bit time-restricted. Overall, it's a paradise for those looking to relax and connect with nature, but be sure to brace yourself for the salty water!

The lodge is located on a cliff overlooking the ocean, providing breathtaking sunset views. However, swimming access varies with the tide, limiting beach activities.

Dining happens at a set time, creating a cozy atmosphere, but it would be nice if the options were a bit more varied. The food was delicious, served in a lovely candle-lit setting.

There are plenty of hammocks and chairs for lounging around, and the pool is a great spot for a dip when the ocean isn't accessible.

The Promised Land was a wonderful place to unwind with its cozy atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the spacious layout allowed for a relaxing stay. While the dining options were decent, they could be more varied, and the isolation made dining choices limited. However, the friendly service and serene environment made it a great getaway overall.

Staying at this hotel was truly a little piece of paradise! The owner and the staff were incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere was wonderfully laid-back, making it easy to relax and unwind. The bungalow by the sea was a fantastic treat, providing stunning views and a refreshing ocean breeze. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with limited food options and inconsistent meal quality. Bring your own snacks for in-between meals, as there's not much available outside of designated meal times.

Nestled on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the location is breathtaking. It's peaceful and serene, but not too far from interesting local culture and excursions.

The hotel offers a beautiful and serene setting perfect for relaxation, with a nice view and a comfortable atmosphere. However, it falls short in terms of food quality and cleanliness, along with some noise issues from the surroundings. The pool, while large, has its own issues, which could be improved. Overall, it has potential but requires significant improvements in various areas.
Rooms
6.0
The rooms were basic and clean but lacked proper walls, which led to noise disturbances from outside. The mosquito nets allowed too much sound in, making it hard to sleep well.

The lodge is located in a tranquil area with lovely sea views, ideal for watching the tide come in and out, but it lacks a proper beach.

The facilities included a large pool, but it was often cloudy and had a strange smell. There were also some issues with water availability in the bathroom.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Promised Land Lodge. The views from my room were absolutely stunning, and the ambiance was incredibly laid-back. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, while the food was fresh and delicious with a lovely local twist. However, the lack of urban luxuries might not suit everyone, and occasional power outages were a bit of a hiccup during my stay.
