This resort is quite small but it doesn’t feel small because there’s always something to do. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, especially the days they had papaya. Everything was clean for the most part. I saw the staff cleaning the walkways early mornings. The only thing that didn’t seem too clean was the coffee area in the breakfast/dining hall. I saw a couple of small roaches or insects that looked like roaches in that area. It didn’t turn me off from getting coffee but something to note.
