The room was fantastic. Food was good. Staff was very nice and kind. Sliding glass doors to the balcony was nice.

We booked a sea view junior suite and a tree blocked the view.

Very clean pool and beach, great size rooms, friendly staff. Joeys table alfresco restaurant serves tasty food.

The bathroom amenities/toiletries basic, to match the other great qualities of resort could do with a refresh of better brands.

there was only 1 thing ok in the resort was the POOL, else everything was disappointing. Services were ZERO, breakfast was more than pathetic

There was nothing to like in the place. isolated from any connections. located in some dark corner, surrounded with village and scary to go out in the night time.
