Our stay was a mixed bag. While the property has a stunning pool and beautiful gardens, we encountered several issues that dampened our experience. The staff were attentive and gracious, but noise disturbances and some aspects of the dining left much to be desired. The beach, although long, was not particularly attractive, and the outdoor bathroom concept didn't work well for us. Overall, the charm of the place is overshadowed by some operational shortcomings.

What a magical experience at this resort! Nestled on a pristine beach, the atmosphere was incredibly serene and rejuvenating. The villas were beautifully designed with private open-air bathrooms, offering a unique touch of luxury. The attentive and genuinely warm staff made our stay all the more delightful. Dining was an absolute treat with fresh, locally sourced food, although swimming at the beach couldn't happen every day due to the waves. Overall, a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, yet it would have been nice to have a few more options for excursions.
