warm welcome

fantastic food

clean infinity pool

higher food prices

The staff made our long trip worthwhile with a warm welcome and fantastic food, especially the breakfast spread that we loved! We enjoyed relaxing by the clean infinity pool as well as the private sun terrace for some chill vibes. Although the food prices were a bit higher than expected, everything was delicious, so definitely come hungry! 🌊

wildlife encounters, spacious villa design, well-planned resort layout

Location surprisingly isolated, making excursions a hassle!!! Waves too strong for swimming at times, which might disappoint beach lovers!!! Paths could be better lit for evening strolls!!!

peaceful surroundings

distant location

limited accessibility

swimming conditions

The beachfront property features beautifully decorated villas with all necessary amenities, providing a serene atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation. The small restaurant offers delicious meals, and trying out the local breakfast was a highlight. While the isolation means a Tuk Tuk is needed for excursions, the peaceful surroundings more than compensate for this. the distant location could be inconvenient for those wanting to explore nearby towns regularly.

delicious meals

isolated region

beautiful place but remote location

The villa we stayed in was beautifully decorated and offered stunning sea views. The pool area provided a relaxing oasis, perfect after a long day. The small restaurant served delicious meals, and we enjoyed every breakfast and dinner. The sea view was mesmerizing and made our stay even more special.

The location was more isolated than expected, making it hard to access nearby towns without a Tuk Tuk.
