Delicious Dining Options

During my stay, I had the chance to try the breakfast at the hotel which was a good experience. The spread included eggs, fruits, cheeses, and pancakes, setting me up perfectly for the day ahead. I also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant, where some dishes were excellent, particularly the fresh fish. The atmosphere while dining overlooking the lagoon was truly enchanting.

Comfortable Bungalows

I stayed in a beautiful bungalow that was spacious and comfortable, complete with a great view of the lagoon. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and I loved being able to watch the aquatic life right from my patio. It was a serene place to relax after a day of snorkeling.

Exciting Water Activities

I took advantage of the complimentary kayaks and used them to explore the lagoon right in front of the hotel. The snorkeling opportunities were fantastic, and I even spotted a black tip reef shark while jumping off the hotel pier. It was a thrilling experience that added excitement to my trip.

I had a lovely stay at a beautiful bungalow resort overlooking the ocean. The oceanfront views were stunning, and the room was clean and comfortable. While the dining options were a bit fish-heavy for my taste, I enjoyed the breakfast. However, I found the dinner prices to be on the higher side, which is common in that region. Overall, it was a great experience with some minor drawbacks.

Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience, especially for those who love diving and a laid-back atmosphere. The staff truly went above and beyond, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The grounds were beautiful and well-kept, with clean and comfortable accommodations. However, the Wi-Fi could be unreliable at times, and dining options, while good, weren't exactly extravagant due to the location.

The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes from the airport, making it easy to get around. While the lagoon views from my room were stunning, the cleanliness didn't meet expectations, with issues in housekeeping that detracted from the experience. The restaurant had some delicious fish dishes, but breakfast was on the pricy side and somewhat basic. Overall, there were some highlights, but there are also significant areas for improvement.

Rooms

The room had a lovely view of the water, but it was in a garden area that wasn't very attractive. It had all the main amenities I needed, but I wouldn't describe it as luxurious.

Service was a mixed bag; while Mr. Alan at the front desk was incredibly helpful, I encountered a curvier older lady in the afternoons, which wasn’t pleasant. Overall, I’d rate service average.
