His Opinion: We had the most wonderful stay at Kapari. The room and the view were both so beautiful and we received warm, courteous, relaxed service from every staff member that we met. Thank you so much for a perfect experience, that couldn't even be marred by the slightly-less-than-perfect weather! We'd love to return one day!

His Opinion: We were for our Honeymoon in this resport for few nights.
The view was breathtaking and the quality of the breakfast phenomenal. The location was perfect since it was close to close enough to restaurants and shops but far enough that you are not distracted by the many tourists.
We also had dinner /lunch at the resort due to the excellent food and very caring and friendly service!
Really enjoyed the cave architecture of the rooms with the high tech specs
Thanks for the team again for the amazing honeymoon!
