The facilities, particularly the pool, are decent. However, the pool size may not be ideal for larger groups or those looking for a lot of swimming space.

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.

Breakfast was expensive and not worth the price, especially with stale pastries and long wait times for cooked dishes.

Facilities

The facilities such as the playground and pool look nice but are not extensively utilized, and the rustic charm comes with its own set of drawbacks.

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.
