I had a mixed experience at the resort. The location is outstanding, really close to the beach and great for snorkeling. The rooms were clean but smaller than I expected. Service was generally good, but one staff member was a bit off-putting. Prices seemed a little high compared to the amenities offered, although I appreciated the early check-in option.

I had a nice stay overall, with clean rooms and friendly staff making my experience enjoyable. The location was fantastic, with beautiful beach views right in front. However, I felt the rooms are in need of some refurbishment, and the dining options were a little limited compared to other places I've stayed at. The service was decent, but there were a few minor oversights. Overall, it was a good value for the price.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa. The rooms were well-equipped and had a lovely beach view, making it a peaceful retreat. The service was pretty decent, though sometimes I felt a bit neglected. The beach location was absolutely stunning, right next to a diving company which was a huge plus. However, the dining options left something to be desired and could be improved.
Rooms

The rooms had everything I needed, including a nice veranda to relax on. The beach window view was lovely, and it was convenient to have a balcony with two chairs and a water tap for cleaning feet after the beach.
Service

The reception staff was friendly and helpful, but I felt like I was often ignored when I was alone. I was told things would be checked for the next day without much follow-up.

This resort offers a really nice blend of comfort and convenience, especially being close to great snorkeling spots and an excellent dive company. The rooms are comfortable, but it would have been great to have a few more amenities like a mini fridge. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had privacy during our stay, but the sunbeds could use some improvement for better comfort. Overall, a good experience, but there are a few areas that could use enhancement.

During my stay at the resort, I was delighted by the proximity to the beach, which meant easy access to snorkeling right off the shore. While the rooms had a bit of an outdated feel compared to what I had expected, the friendly service and support from the staff really brightened my experience. However, dining options left something to be desired, as the variety was quite limited. Overall, the place offers great value for a beach getaway, but a few upgrades would enhance the stay significantly.
