My stay at the resort was a mix of wonderful views and attentive staff, but the facilities need some upgrades, especially in the pool area. The location is fantastic, with easy access to a private beach, making it ideal for relaxation. While the rooms were spacious, they fell a bit short in terms of modern amenities. Overall, I had a memorable experience, but some improvements would make it even better.

I had a memorable experience staying at this resort. The setting was absolutely beautiful, providing a peaceful atmosphere away from the more crowded areas. The cottage we stayed in was comfortable and had a lovely view of the sea, enhancing our stay. However, the initial mix-up regarding our booking was frustrating, and there were aspects of cleanliness that could be improved. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives.

This resort offers a stunning private beach, and I was lucky enough to see baby turtles right on the shore! The serene environment, beautiful cottages, and delicious food made my stay delightful. However, some of the fittings are a bit dated, and improvements in lighting would really enhance the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its stunning ocean views from the room’s private balcony. The staff were polite and attentive, and the breakfast was impressive with plenty of choices. However, I found the dining options for lunch limited and the Wi-Fi connectivity in the rooms quite frustrating.
