My stay at the resort was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and the location was perfect for those seeking a peaceful beach experience. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. The staff treated me like family, making it easy to connect with others. I did, however, wish the dining options were a bit more varied, as there were limited choices available. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money, and I can't wait to return!

My stay at the resort was a wonderful experience, especially if you're keen on diving. The location was peaceful yet conveniently close to restaurants, making it perfect for relaxation and exploration. The rooms were clean, although the fan-only room got a bit warm at times. The service was commendable as they were attentive and helpful, but the lack of breakfast included felt a little off given the price. Overall, great value for those wanting a quieter ambiance!

This resort is a peaceful escape, perfect for unwinding away from the party scene. The staff is exceptionally welcoming, and the on-site dining has many delicious options. On the downside, the beach isn’t the best for swimming due to its shallow waters, and the rooms, while clean, felt a bit smaller than expected.
