I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, with beautiful white sandy beaches and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made my stay feel warm. However, the rooms did leave something to be desired, as there was no separation between the shower and toilet area, and they weren’t cleaned properly during my stay. Additionally, the dining options were quite limited.

The hotel is beautifully situated with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water, creating a stunning paradise vibe. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though not as pristine as I expected from a resort. Service was hit or miss; while some staff were attentive and friendly, I did have a concerning experience with food poisoning that I wouldn't want others to risk. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially with the amazing location.
