Our stay at the hotel was truly memorable, filled with cultural charm and a serene beach experience. The rooms were lovely and decorated with unique pieces that added to the cozy atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond, making our dining experience delightful with delicious food. However, while the snorkeling at the hotel's home reef was great, I wish there had been more dining options available. Overall, it was a wonderful and relaxing escape with much to offer.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The serene atmosphere combined with an uncrowded beach made it perfect for some quality time with my daughter. The warm, friendly service, especially from Sanders and Jane, truly made us feel at home. It was a bit disappointing to leave this paradise for another crowded resort after two nights. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough!
