Italian Styled Heaven!

The food at Kobe Suite Resort was absolutely really good! Every meal was freshly prepared and delicious, especially the seafood and Italian dishes. My wife raved about the grilled octopus, which was superb! It was wonderful to dine outdoors with a view, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment.

Two Beautiful Pools!

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

As a family traveling with a toddler, I appreciated how accommodating the staff were, even preparing special meals for my son. The multi-stepped pool and shallow areas were great for kids, making it a perfect place to bring families looking to enjoy quality time together!

I had an unforgettable experience at the resort, starting with an incredible safari followed by a relaxing beach stay. The suites are spacious and modern, and the beach is simply stunning with warm waters. However, I found the lunch and dinner menu a bit repetitive after a week, and it would have been nice to have more sunbeds near the beach access.

My experience at Kobe Suite Resort was quite the rollercoaster. While the location is stunning, offering beautiful views and a beach restaurant, I found the recent changes in management to affect the overall quality. The room was lovely and the service was initially attentive, but the dining experience was not up to the standards I had hoped for, with some disappointing menu changes. Overall, it's a place with great potential, but improvements are needed to keep it at its best.

The rooms are clean and elegantly designed, although I felt they could incorporate more local flair. The service was quite attentive, though there were some inconsistencies.
