I had a wonderful stay at this resort, with spacious and clean rooms that provided a comfortable escape. The incredible clear sea right off the beach was perfect for snorkeling and made every moment feel like paradise. However, the service was a bit hit or miss, especially if you weren't part of a family group. The dining options could also use some improvement, as they felt quite limited. Overall, this place has its flaws, but the beautiful location and excellent vibe make it worth considering.
