I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel, especially with the surprise upgrade to a honeymoon suite that was beautifully decorated. The lobby and rooms are exquisite; however, I felt the breakfast options could use some improvement. The location offers breathtaking ocean views, and the restaurant staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive.

The hotel has spacious and clean rooms with beautiful sea views, making it a great place to relax. The staff provided excellent hospitality, especially the reception team. However, the location is a bit remote, requiring travel for amenities, and the dining options, particularly for breakfast, were quite limited. Additionally, the internet service was unreliable, which may be a drawback for business travelers.

This resort has a beautiful view and a lovely swimming pool that was perfect after long days exploring. However, I had some significant privacy issues with housekeepers entering unannounced, and the noise from the road could be quite disruptive. Overall, it’s a decent place, but it falls short in several areas that could really enhance the stay.

I had an incredible stay at this resort! The rooms were spacious and air-conditioned, providing a comfortable retreat after a day by the pool. The staff were exceptionally responsive and friendly, making me feel right at home. The dining options offered stunning views and a great variety, though I think breakfast could use a little more diversity. The pool area was just as beautiful as the pictures. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind by the sea.
