The resort offers a peaceful retreat with gorgeous sea views, comfortable beds, and a wide variety of local dishes for dinner. However, the service can be frustratingly slow, and the breakfast selection lacks variety. The location is very remote, which means you'll have limited options unless you plan organized outings.

We had a wonderful stay in the Honeymoon Villa, which had an incredible sea view and a fantastic private spa. The friendly staff made our experience even better, but we did face a few issues with the mosquitoes in our Executive Superior bungalow and some confusion during check-in about the pricing through Booking.com. Overall, the ambiance was delightful, and we would definitely recommend this place for a romantic getaway.

I had an average experience during my stay, particularly given the high price tag of £300 per night. While the hotel has good entertainment and friendly wait staff, I felt that the service was lacking in some areas, especially regarding the all-inclusive package. The food and facilities could use improvements, but the room was decent, and I appreciated the late check-out gesture.

My experience at the resort was mixed. While the staff were incredibly welcoming and the property itself was beautifully designed, I encountered several issues with cleanliness and dining options. I appreciated the spacious and comfortable rooms, but the challenges with the pools and food quality were hard to overlook, especially given the price point.

The pool facilities were a huge letdown; while there was a fun layout with various depths, the cleanliness, especially of the whirlpool, was disappointing.

The resort offers a serene escape with comfortable beds and a nicely varied dinner buffet. However, the location is quite remote with a troublesome access road, and there are several service shortcomings that dampen the overall experience. The breakfast is repetitive and lacks quality, which is disappointing for a place advertised as luxurious.

Rooms
6.0
The deluxe rooms are spacious but feel quite basic, with worn furniture and no added amenities like bathrobes. They are clean, but overall, just average.
Service
5.0
The service is notably slow and requires frequent reminders for basic requests. There was a lack of attentiveness which detracted from the experience.
Location
5.0
The resort is very remote and requires a difficult drive along a poor road. It's nice for a quiet getaway but limits your options for excursions.
Dining
5.0
Dinner options are varied and flavorful, but breakfast is a letdown, serving the same items daily without much skill in preparation.
Facilities

While the facilities, such as the pool and spa, are decent, overall service and upkeep need improvement to match a luxury experience.
