Guests consistently praise the resort's location, with its ivory sand beach ideal for long walks. Many have found the rooms spacious, and bathrooms large, some with a tub and separate shower. The breakfast and dinner buffets are noted for their great variety, especially the seafood dishes. While the beach and infinity pool are highlights, some guests have noted that the wood around the pool could use some updating.

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.

I found the staff warm and cute. They consistently were very 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.
