Amazing experience. Lovely property right by the beach. Many restaurants with lots of food to offer. Some of the restaurant staff were a bit rude (or may be the messages came off as such due to inadequate English proficiency). Otherwise, highly recommend and will go back

The staff were very patient, friendly, and accommodating. They were very hospitable. I enjoyed my stay here. There are a lot of monkeys on the resort fyi but they don’t bother the guests. The WiFi wasn’t as strong in my room but other than that I enjoyed my stay.

The spa was excellent, the ambiance of the resort is great It would have been helpful if breakfast was served until 11 AM not 10 AM, as you have to be out of your room by 10 The beach outside the hotel is dissapointing, but you can walk along for a few hundred metres and get the nice beach It was my girlfriends birthday whist we were there, they noticed and did two special treats for her All in all, a great experience, I really do recommend the seafood platter at the beach bar
