this beautiful resort captured my heart. its tropical gardens seemed to whisper sweet nothings. multiple pools sparkled like hidden gems, each with sunbeds inviting moments of pure bliss. the staff displayed warmth.
the lack of readily available water near the upper pools posed a slight inconvenience. a nearby refreshment option would greatly enhance the experience.

The landscaping is good! The wildlife added a special touch.
I found the room lighting to be quite dim, it made it hard to read in the evenings. The shower temperature fluctuated a lot. I found this unacceptable. I also noticed noise from adjacent rooms. It disrupted my sleep.

Fantastic Eco-Resort Experience

fruit selectionpool selectionshaded sectionsmaintained grounds
The breakfast had a large selection. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit. The grounds were wonderfully maintained (gardeners were active every morning). There were many pools to choose from. Plenty of shade was available throughout the hotel.
Finding my way around the hotel initially was not easy. It has lots of foliage. This makes the hotel quite dark.
Rooms
9/10
My room had fresh water delivered daily. Towels were also refreshed daily. The air conditioning worked well, nice (especially during the hot afternoons). There was a mosquito net too.
Location
9/10
The hotel is located next to the beach. One can walk about 5 km from one end to the other. The hotel is set in lovely surroundings with a green park. This park is maintained very neatly.
