Moonlight Bay Suites wins on the evening, by a hair. Every suite has a kitchen, there’s a 28 m pool and a gym, and the hotel says so on its own pages.
It ties the Mangrove next door on points and takes first on our straight-line tiebreak, by a few metres. That’s a coin toss, not a verdict. Dinner is the difference: here it’s your kitchen or room service from Matso’s.
Breakfast and check-in times aren’t published. Ask both when you book.
Book it if
- You want a kitchen and space after a long flight
- You’re a family of up to five
- A swim and a gym session before the voyage appeal
Look elsewhere if
- You want a restaurant downstairs; the Mangrove has one
- You need check-in times in writing before you fly
