Reviews and Ratings
The resort offers breathtaking views and has nicely designed rooms, making it a pleasant getaway. However, the service leaves much to be desired, particularly during busy times and early mornings. While the dining options are limited, the overall atmosphere is relaxing, making it a worthwhile visit despite some shortcomings.
I had mixed feelings about my stay. The scenery around the hotel is absolutely stunning, nestled amongst the trees with a great view of the beach. However, the service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired, making it less appealing overall. While the location is a highlight, the issues with the room and amenities were quite disappointing.
My stay at the resort was lovely overall, with astounding value for the price and delightful food. The villas were stunning, and the view was breathtaking, but I did notice that the TVs could use an upgrade for those rainy days. Despite some minor issues at the front desk, management was responsive to my concerns. It's a beautiful place that definitely captures the essence of a great coastal getaway.
The hotel has breathtaking views, especially from the rooms, which made my stay more enjoyable despite some significant service issues. The communal lodging style may not be for everyone, but it did offer a unique experience. However, the service fell short of expectations, especially during meal times and check-out, which detracted from the overall experience.
