My stay at the resort was a mix of comfort and some disappointments. The rooms were spacious with a lovely balcony, and the shower was excellent. However, I faced some issues with the service, which often seemed disorganized. The location was great for snorkeling and accessing the island's attractions, but there was an unpleasant smell outside my room. Overall, the value was decent, but there are definitely areas that could be improved.

The dining options were also lacking, with an inadequate breakfast spread. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I recently stayed at this resort spa, and while the beautiful ocean view was truly amazing, I did experience some drawbacks. The room had a strong smell, which was a bit off-putting. Service had its ups and downs with wrong orders and forgetfulness, but the natural setting was just stunning. Overall, the place offered decent value for money with room rates including some services, though a few improvements could be made.

The Ocean Breeze room was directly facing the beautiful ocean, making for a gorgeous view, but there was a quite strong smell that might have been due to the concrete construction.

The location couldn't be closer to the beach, and it was truly sublime. I loved being able to swim no matter the tide, plus there were attractions like a giant clam sanctuary nearby for exploring.

Dining

The breakfast offerings were very basic, just fruits and toast, which was included in the room rate, but I found them a bit too sweet and would have preferred some savory options.
