I had a lovely time at the hotel, enjoying its proximity to the beach and the diving school. The location is ideal for beachgoers, and the restaurant staff was very attentive. However, the rooms could use some updates, as they feel like they need a little TLC. The dining experience was excellent, particularly the local dishes, and the staff was always friendly and accommodating.

We had a fantastic time during our 23-night stay, celebrating our anniversary with impeccable service and incredible food. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering breathtaking ocean views. However, the location requires a long drive, and we were sad to leave the serene beach for the cold back home. Overall, a wonderful experience with unforgettable hospitality.

Overall, the resort offers good value for a relaxing getaway, but be mindful of a few quirks.
