Our stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The location is truly stunning, providing a peaceful haven near the beach, and the service we received from the staff was exceptional. While the dining options were delicious, I wish there had been a bit more variety. We did encounter some noise issues from adjoining rooms, but it didn't detract too much from our enjoyment.

The Owl & The Pussycat is a charming boutique hotel that offers an idyllic escape. The location is breathtaking, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, and the swimming pool and terraces create a serene atmosphere. The spacious rooms and quality of service are highlights, but the dining options could use a bit more variety, and some may find the service speed inconsistent. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a peaceful retreat by the sea.

The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. I particularly loved the enormous double bed and the powerful shower. However, there were not enough hangers initially, but they were promptly provided when requested.

The location is peaceful, offering stunning beach views, but it’s a bit remote, making it necessary to take a tuk-tuk for restaurants and shops. It's about a 10-minute ride to more populated areas, which can be a minor inconvenience.

Dining options at the hotel were quite good, with breakfast featuring a range of quality choices, but it could benefit from more variety in the menu. The lunch offerings were impressive, especially the Tuna Tartare.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful! The property is beautifully designed with so many thoughtful touches that it made my experience feel special. The ocean view from my room was breathtaking, and I loved the charming atmosphere throughout the hotel. The staff was incredibly warm and helpful, ensuring all our needs were met. However, I did notice some minor shortcomings with the breakfast quality, and the waves were quite strong for swimming, which might be a consideration for some guests.

I enjoyed a lovely room that overlooked the ocean, adorned with unique and vibrant decor. It had a comfortable and cozy vibe, although there was a slight musty smell, likely due to its proximity to the sea.

While I found the dining experience enjoyable, especially the dinner where I had the mouth-watering jumbo prawn curry, I feel the breakfast selection could be improved for a better start to the day.

We had an incredible stay at this beautifully designed hotel that was perfect for our family getaway. The spacious two-bedroom suite was gorgeous and very comfortable for all four of us, and the peaceful environment made it ideal for light sleepers. The staff went above and beyond in terms of service, even accommodating my family member with mobility issues. The breakfast views were stunning, and the location made it easy to access various beautiful beaches. We did notice a few minor issues with soundproofing and some facilities, but it didn't take away from our overall fantastic experience.
