The resort offers well-designed cabins with stunning beach views, making it a relaxing getaway. While the Italian food is generally good, it felt overpriced, and the overly attentive service might not suit everyone's taste. The beach area is pristine, but the lack of local amenities and sustainability practices is concerning. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for tranquillity, but dining can be hit or miss, and some improvements in service balance would enhance the experience.

I had a fantastic experience at this resort. The room was spacious and beautifully designed with great amenities, perfect for a luxurious getaway. The beach was gorgeous and peaceful, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay. While the dining options were mostly European and not quite what I expected in an Asian country, the quality was still superb. The friendly service and the overall ambiance made it a place I would love to return to, even though some local dining alternatives offered better prices.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mix of amazing moments and some letdowns. The beach and ocean were simply stunning, and the staff, especially Emy, added a personal touch that made the experience memorable. However, the transport from the airport was disappointing, and the food quality left much to be desired. Still, the beautiful gardens and yoga sessions made it worthwhile.

While breakfast started off strong with a fantastic buffet, the shift to à la carte was a bit of a letdown. The dining options outside the hotel were much better and affordable.

Yoga sessions, albeit only three times a week, were led by a fantastic teacher and set against a breathtaking ocean sunset. However, the facilities could use better lighting and options for entertainment aside from evening movies.

I had an overall mixed experience at the resort. The beach and ocean views were stunning, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the food options were limited and generally tasteless, which was disappointing given the price I paid. The room itself felt dated and uncomfortable, lacking sufficient light and conveniences. Overall, there were both beautiful moments and some shortcomings during my stay.

Rooms

I had an incredible time at this resort, nestled among palm trees and just a few steps from the beach. The beach cottages are a fantastic touch, making it easy to enjoy the sun without the hassle of reserving a sun bed. The staff went above and beyond to cater to all my needs, making my stay extra special. Although the beach could use a bit more care, the overall experience was wonderful, and the dining options were mostly great but slightly on the pricier side.

While the dining was excellent with fresh seafood and local options, the prices were a bit higher than expected, but worth it for the quality.
