I had a wonderful stay at the resort, enjoying a peaceful island experience with a clean beach and beautiful surroundings. The staff was truly amazing, always eager to assist with a smile.

The resort offers beautiful views and a lovely beach, which made our stay enjoyable. The rooms, though clean, were smaller than we expected and quite basic. The staff was very helpful, especially with activities, but the food quality left much to be desired considering the price. Overall, it's a nice spot if you're after a simple beach getaway but be prepared for average dining options.

My stay at this island resort was quite pleasant overall. The staff truly stood out with their dedication and attentiveness, especially Janani at the restaurant. The surroundings were cozy and quiet, perfect for relaxation. However, the rocky ocean shore made swimming quite challenging and a bit painful. Also, there was a significant communication issue regarding the all-inclusive package that led to unexpected charges. Overall, it was a decent experience, but with some areas needing improvement.
