Not worth a billion
Facilities were very nice although there was some misconception about the location as unless you rent an apartment you actually stay at lion in the sun resort accross the street from the billionaire. Food and drinks were terrible for a resort of this caliber. Thank god dining in the area is excellent

The strange thing is when you book on Expedia you think you are booked at the Billionaire Resort but you end up staying at their different property called Lion in the Sun- very deceptive. Other than that I had a pleasant stay at Lion in the Sun, the staff were extremely hospitable and exceeded my expectations. I would go back again and again. I suggest you separate the properties when booking on Expedia.

We were really disappointed when we found out that you had to purchase everything even water and tea . I have never stayed in any place where water wasn’t free. Food was just not it . Pricey and not good quality food, only thing we genuinely enjoyed was the chocolate cake lava even though it was about 3 full spoons . We had stayed at sandies tropical which was few meters away, paid less than what we paid here and it was all inclusive. We mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary but it was not acknowledged. All the pools were very deep , some People don’t know how to swim . Overall we wouldn’t pay that much money for a resort like this . Highly disappointed

10/10 Exceptional

Das Billionaire hat zwei Bereiche: das eigentliche Billionaire Resort am Meer mit Appartements (22 insgesamt, von denen aber 11 im Besitz von regelmäßigen Gäste ist) und das „Lion in the Sun“ (nicht direkt am Meer), das Zimmer anbietet. Bei der Buchung in Expedia landet man im „Lion in the Sun“. Im Lion in the Sun gibt es mehrere Hütten, die je 4 Zimmer beinhalten. Jede Hütte hat ihren eigenen Lounge Bereich mit Sofas und einem eigenen Pool. Außerdem gibt es noch einen großen gemeinschafts-Pool. Frühstück gibt es in dem Teil in dem man übernachtet. Restaurant nur im Billionaire. Ein Shuttle Service Transportiert einen wann immer man möchte von einem in den anderen Teil (600m Distanz). Der Strand am Billionaire ist felsig, die Pools im „Lion in the Sun“ sind traumhaft und sehr ruhig, perfekt zum entspannen. Das Fitnessstudio ist gut, hat aber leider kein WLAN. Das Personal ist super freundlich und bemüht. Wir können das Hotel weiter empfehlen. Der Strand am Billionaire hingegen war etwas enttäuschend.
