Nexus Resort And Spa Karambunai

Nice view and place , will come again , Thank guys !

We re-visited Nexus Resort & Spa at Karambunai for 5 nights, after our first visit there 14 years ago. We booked direct independently. First impressions very good - we were collected from KK, the welcome was great and we had a fabulous sea view room. Also even though we arrived before check in time our room was ready. Sadly we were overall very disappointed thereafter. All the information about the resort ie maps and restaurants are by QR codes, no brochure or information in the room; on holiday I like to NOT have to check my fone. Our favourite restaurant, the Kingfisher, was closed for the duration of our stay. We only had a choice of the dining room where the breakfasts were served - and never really found out how much that cost or what it entailed or the Sunset bar. Suffice to say we ate at the Sunset Bar which had a limited menu and, even then, some dishes often unavailable. On the whole the food we had was OK but the service there was variable and we experienced mix-ups. We liked to go the Darling, Darling bar for a pre-dinner drink but a couple of times it was closed and even when we did go, there were no other guests there so it was lacking in atmosphere. The setting and grounds are wonderful, as is the sea and beach but rubbish is not cleared and bottles, plastic and wrappers were left for days. The sunsets were fabulous. The pool was ok but there were areas blocked off, peeling paint and repairs taking place. The swim up bar was dilapidated and not in use. Most days a metal construction was being built adjacent to the pool, with the noise of drilling, banging and arc welding taking place. Breakfast was included in our deal and was OK but sometimes very busy and the staff could not cope with clearing tables. On the first couple of days, we used the loungers on the beach but they did not have cushions so were not very comfortable. On the the second evening we had a pre-dinner drink, sitting on white openwork chairs on the grassy area in front of the sunset bar. I am very careful to use anti mozzi and insect bite spray but the next day I had numerous bites on my arms, legs etc. I feel sure they were sandfly bites so for the remainder of the holiday I did not go anywhere on sand or on the grassy area by bar. this meant I did not go in the sea again which I was VERY sad about as I MUCH prefer the sea to the pool. Finally, I was disappointed with the newer (larger, I think) shop which is now more like a supermarket. I recall the last visit, it had lovely handcrafted items and whilst I can see the need for some of the items now sold, I do not think that rows and rows of snacks, and drinks are necessary. Another plus was a free transfer to our next destination. I don't think I was remembering our previous visit throughout rose tinted glasses - sadly I don't think the resort now has the lovely atmosphere or the level of service it once had. If I am lucky enough to visit KK again, I don't think I will return to Nexus Resort and Spa at Karambunai.

Wonderful Stay, Beautiful Surroundings, Breakfast Was Good , Friendly Service, Nothing Was Too Much Trouble, Very Near To The Beach , Would Definitely Recommend.
