My stay at the resort was a memorable experience, with lovely clean bungalows right by the beach. The atmosphere was relaxed, and I absolutely loved the authentic feel of the wooden bungalows. However, I found the noise level outside my room to be a bit bothersome at times. The dining options were nice, especially the breakfasts by the beach, but there’s room for improvement in terms of variety and quality of service.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, especially enjoying the live music on the beach and the delicious BBQ. The rooms were clean with a beautiful view of the pool and the sea, but traffic noise at night was a bit disruptive. The service stood out, with friendly staff making my stay even better. While the dining options were delicious, I found some items to be lukewarm and the coffee situation could be improved. Overall, a great experience but be prepared for some noise from outside.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, which made it so relaxing. The bungalows are clean and spacious, providing a lovely view. However, the dining could use some improvement as the prices are a bit high compared to similar places. On the downside, the service at the pool area wasn't ideal, as it often got crowded with non-residents taking up sun loungers.

We had an incredible stay at this clean beachfront resort. The staff was extremely friendly, especially during meals, and the dining experience was noticeably enjoyable with live music on certain nights. However, there were some issues with the maintenance of the pool area and availability of sun loungers, which detracted from the overall relaxation experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a short getaway.
