poor wifi dangerous staircase
I was disappointed that the wifi was only available in public areas. I expected it to be accessible in my room. The staircase in the room also proved dangerous. I fell and got injured. I think some staff members could use more training. They were not as attentive as I hoped.

Really good Stay

warm staff amazing location great food
I found the staff warm and cute. They consistently were really good too. The location overlooking the bay is amazing, and the resort blends naturally with its surroundings. The food had a great mix of local and western dishes.
I found the staircase in the panoramic sea view room quite dangerous. I had a fall and got badly injured, a significant inconvenience.
