I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offer stunning views, but the air conditioning is only in the master bed area. The large water bottle was a nice touch. The staff's attitude was somewhat rude and inconvenient. The location, however, is amazing with the beautiful white sands and turquoise sea. The dining experience was satisfactory but included local products only.

The service was a bit mixed with some staff members being rude, but the location on a beautiful beach was absolutely fantastic.

The hotel offers stunning views and a large water bottle in each room, but the air conditioning is only available in the master bed. The service was marred by some rude staff members, although the variety of amenities like car hire, housekeeping, and shuttle services were convenient. The location by a beautiful beach with turquoise waters is enchanting. The dining experience, with included soup, was satisfactory. The facilities were well-equipped, but the paid shuttle service might not offer the best value for money.
