My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the pool area was fantastic and well-maintained, and the surroundings felt beautiful, creating a nice relaxing atmosphere. However, the staff's attitude left much to be desired-often feeling unenthusiastic and not very helpful, which really impacted our overall experience. We had issues with the travel service and felt a bit ripped off, especially with the airport taxi arrangements.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, which features charming bungalows and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were particularly friendly, especially toward my son. However, while the pool and amenities were impressive, the dining options could use some enhancement as they were quite basic. The place has a serene vibe, but the remote location means that access to nearby beaches requires a bit of travel.

Staying at this seafront cottage was a delight, with a direct path to a beach perfect for snorkeling. The rooms offered a homely vibe and were equipped with everything we needed. However, the dining experience was quite simple, and the interaction with some staff members could be improved as they were not very welcoming. Overall, it was a great value for a family getaway with good amenities and a clean environment.

I had a wonderful week at the hotel! The cottage was clean and provided a very comfortable stay with its kitchen amenities. The swimming pool was fantastic, and the breakfast options were delicious. The location is perfect for easy beach access and nearby restaurants. However, the Wi-Fi only being available in certain areas was a bit inconvenient, and the coral reef nearby was not in great shape due to previous events.

Staying at this resort was a mixed experience for me. On the plus side, the location is great for those wanting a quieter escape while still being close to activities and attractions. The pool area was fantastic and enjoyable for my daughter and me. However, we faced issues with the service, which felt a bit unwelcoming at times, and the breakfast confusion left us frustrated. Overall, it has potential but definitely needs some improvement in the staff attitude and communication.
