The resort is set in a stunning location right by a secluded beach, making for a peaceful getaway. The accommodations are decent, though very basic amenities can be inconvenient. Service was lacking at times, especially during busy hours, and the breakfast really needs improvement. However, I enjoyed my stay overall because of the beautiful beach and the quiet atmosphere.

The resort has beautiful new beach suites in a quiet bay, making it perfect for relaxation. However, we encountered unpleasant odors and poor dining experiences, particularly at breakfast.

The resort offers stunning ocean views and clean, spacious accommodations, making it a great spot for a family getaway. The beach is beautiful, and staff are genuinely friendly. However, communication can be tricky, especially during meal times, and the breakfast options leave something to be desired. Overall, I think it provides good value for money but could improve in dining services.

I found the resort to have a stunning seafront with modern villas, and I loved the quiet beach atmosphere. While the private pier was great for fishing, the reception service was frustratingly slow and the older villas felt outdated. Overall, it's a mixed experience with great views but lacking efficiency and value for money.

We had a lovely time during our 10-night stay at the resort, enjoying great privacy in our Ocean Villa, which offered beautiful beach views. The hotel grounds were well-maintained, and we found a decent variety for breakfast. However, we did encounter some issues with varying water pressure in the shower and found snorkeling a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a perfect spot for a relaxed getaway.
