Staying at this resort was a memorable experience! The villas were spacious with beautiful gardens, providing a unique connection to nature with the glimpses of monkeys and exotic birds. The staff truly made our stay special with their warmth and genuine care, although the overall professionalism could use some enhancement. While the location is convenient to the beach and local attractions, the walk can feel less safe due to ongoing construction nearby. The amenities were decent, but the internet connection was weak.

Our stay at this hotel was a delightful experience. The location right by the beach is perfect, and the spacious villas provided a lovely atmosphere. However, the rooms felt a bit tired and could use some refurbishment. The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel at home. We enjoyed great meals, though occasionally some items were not restocked quickly enough at the buffet. Overall, we found it to be a peaceful and enjoyable getaway for a reasonable price.
