We had an exceptional stay at Medina Palms. The two bedroom penthouse was beautifully designed and spacious, offering us the privacy we desired. The location right on the beach allowed for breathtaking views and easy access to the water. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to meet our needs. The meals and barbecues during our stay were delicious and memorable. We also enjoyed the beach walk to Garoda, which was truly spectacular. we highly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future.
