I had a lovely time at this resort. The location is beautiful, with crystal-clear waters perfect for relaxing. The rooms are nice and clean, though the water pressure could use some improvement. The dining options were decent, especially the BBQ dinner, but bring your own snacks as the selections are limited. Overall, it's a perfect escape for those wanting to chill on the beach, but keep in mind it can get a bit boring without activities.

The resort is a charming getaway with stunning views and clean, comfortable water villas. While the food is exceptional, there are limitations on activities, especially for families. The jellyfish season in August can be a downside for swimming, and the water pressure in the rooms needs improvement. Overall, it's a great value for a couple of days of relaxation, but maybe not ideal for more active families.

I had a wonderful 2-3 day getaway at this beautiful island resort. The rooms are lovely and right on the water, providing amazing views and a cozy atmosphere. While the dining options were somewhat limited, the food served was surprisingly good. The idyllic setting allows for plenty of relaxation and activities like snorkeling and kayaking, but I do recommend bringing your own drinks and snacks as the options at the resort are quite restricted.

I had an overall enjoyable stay at this island resort, especially for a short getaway. The room was lovely and right on the water with stunning views. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, with impressive food options. However, the lack of activities for kids and minor issues with swimming due to jellyfish in August brought the experience down a notch. Still, it’s a great spot to relax and unwind.

I had an average family getaway at this resort. The location had fresh air and was clean, but the beach wasn’t great for swimming due to jellyfish in August. The food was fantastic, and the attentive staff made our stay enjoyable, despite limited activities for kids. However, the rooms felt small for a family, and we definitely needed to bring more water since the provided one was a bit salty.
