What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Relaxing Massage Experience

We greatly enjoyed our Swedish Couples Massage at Sea Cliff Resort and Spa. The massage therapists were amazing and they made us feel very relaxed. They created a calming environment and provided us with a balanced massage mixed with pressure point application. They did not talk to us during the massage which we loved. We left a great tip because of how well they did and the added touches of hibiscus tea and ginger tea which was soothing.

Delicious Themed Buffets

One of the highlights of my stay was the nightly themed buffet dinners accompanied by live music. Each night had a different theme, which made dining a unique and exciting experience every evening. The food was delicious and varied, catering to different tastes and dietary requirements.

Amazing Golf Experience

I had a fabulous time playing golf and enjoying a drink in the clubhouse which has lovely views of the ocean. The golf course is well-maintained and offers an enjoyable playing experience, making it a must-try for anyone visiting.

Beautiful Sea Facing Room

Our room was immaculate and well apportioned with a large comfortable bed, fridge, and a nicely furnished terrace that overlooked the gardens and sea. The room maids regularly dressed the rooms with flowers, which added a lovely personal touch to our stay!

I had an incredible experience at the resort, with beautifully maintained grounds and fantastic staff who went above and beyond. The pool area was so relaxing and offered stunning sunset views, and I loved the beach bar just a short walk away. However, there were times when the dining options could have been better, especially during busy hours when food was less fresh. Overall, a great value for a wonderful getaway.

I had an incredible time at Seacliff Resort! The service was impeccable, especially with Khamis ensuring we had everything we needed. The view from the infinity pool was breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. On the downside, the breakfast menu could use more variety and there were numerous cats around the dining area, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, the resort is highly recommended for a fantastic getaway.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and great facilities including beautiful pools and a lovely beach. The staff was exceptionally friendly and provided amazing service, especially Sandeep and Khamis, who went above and beyond to cater to our needs. However, I did experience some issues with minor charges that were not fully explained upfront, and a few maintenance aspects were lacking, making me feel it wasn't quite five-star quality.

This resort offers a peaceful getaway with stunning views and excellent spa services, perfect for those looking to unwind. However, the dining options and amenities outside the resort could use improvement, and the inter-leading room situation can lead to disturbances at night.

The resort is beautifully located on the western shores overlooking the Indian Ocean, providing breathtaking sunsets. It's quite secluded, which is perfect for relaxation but limits nearby activities.

The amenities were adequate for relaxation, though the lack of beach access did hinder some activities. The pool area was inviting but tended to have unused sunbeds reserved with towels.

I had an unforgettable experience at this hotel, thanks to its stunning location with breathtaking sunset views and diverse facilities. The rooms were decent, though a bit worn out, and the service was outstanding—especially thanks to Mr. Khamis, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The dining could use some improvement in variety and freshness, particularly at breakfast. Nonetheless, the value for money was commendable given the all-inclusive package and the quality of service.
