"We’ve now stayed at this resort twice and can honestly say the service is amazing every single time. On our first visit we stayed in the ocean villa with pool, which was absolutely incredible. This time we stayed in a garden bungalow and it was just as good in a completely different way. The staff are all so friendly, welcoming and attentive — they really make the experience special. Highly recommend and we already can’t wait to come back again!"
"We loved staying here!! Their other location is closer to shopping, but this one is a short walk to the beach. The small path to the beach does have a smell, but it cannot be noticed on the property. The pool was amazing with a great view and breakfast was great. If we come back to the area we would absolutely stay here again! Absolutely lovely."
"Other than the gym feeling a bit outdated, everything else was great. One thing to keep in mind is the tide level upon arrival — if the tide is low, the boat may not be able to get close to the dock, so you might need to walk a short distance to the hotel. Not a major issue, just something to be aware of."

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent views, amenities and architecture. Breakfast needs a massive improvement in terms of taste and service. Everyday many dishes were empty and refilling took time. Cleanliness of the restaurants also needs to improve. Room housekeeping also needs improvement. Infrastructure needs fixing as in times of rains, the roof of both the sea side restaurants was leaking from many places causing a massive inconvenience to guests in the middle of their meals. The main pool was also quite dirty. A la carte food was surprisingly good however."
"We were upgraded on our arrival. We were provided with a bungalow with a view on the sea. We really enjoyed our stay and ended up staying one more night. It's a very beautiful resort in the jungle. The resort has his own private beach and is secluded (20 minutes walk from the pier). The breakfast (buffet) was good. The staff was nice and helpful."
