8/10 Very good

Vi hade fantastiska dagar. Men! Det finns ingen strand och att bada i havet är inte ett alternativ. Så trots det exklusiva och härliga så saknade vi möjligheten till promenader och fysisk aktivitet. Inget gym. Ett gym hade gjort hela skillnaden. Två tre dagar hade varit perfekt. Tips är: börja semestern här, varva ner och mys, men åk sedan till ett annat hotell där ni kan röra er mer

Great hotel in forrest surrounding
Very friendly staff settled in a beautiful surrounding. Great pool, and everything is so clean. We felt really looked after. How ever, it said in various sites that there is a beach here, it is, maybe 25 sq meter in total, but with no acces to the sea, there is a very large ref.

nice spot for quiet holiday
The stay was amazing, great spot to chill out and really get a quiet holiday. The villas are so beautiful 😍 Couple of things that could have elevated the trip. The pool to be regularly cleaned would have been nice. Everyday it was full of bugs no matter what the time of day! Would also be great for there to be a better bar service from the sun loungers plus all day snack menu! Staff over all were absolutely excellent and super friendl.

At Tikitam, we felt at home from the very first minute. All members of staff as well as the manager were absolutely friendly and helpful at all times. Everyone was eager to make our stay as comfortable as can be. Besides, the food and drinks were remarkably delicious and prepared with passion. The room was decorated nicely according to its theme and the interior was well-chosen. Moreover, everything was perfectly clean. Tikitam is located within a wonderful piece of nature and for those who want to spent some relaxing days, it is the perfect place. We are absolutely happy to have spent one week here and would definitely recommend it!

We loved Tikitam!
Really nice small resort! Great food and service. Nice pool area and sunbeds. Friendly cats and a gang of monkeys was fun. One evening live local music. Very calm so for romance and relax, not party. Wine and drinks available.

Ottima soluzione per coppie. Hotel tranquillo e con molte attenzioni. Possono migliorare il ristorante che è di qualità ma con poca scelta di portate e diventa difficile cenare oltre i primi due giorni
