I had an absolute blissful stay at this charming hotel, where the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. The location is idyllic, just steps away from a stunning beach and surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens. While the dining experience was generally good, I wished for a little more variety during breakfast. Overall, it's a serene escape, though I noticed a few minor hiccups in service that kept it from being perfect.

I had an incredible time at the hotel, which offers a cozy atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. The warm and welcoming staff truly made my stay special. The room was large and comfortable, featuring a lovely balcony where I could relax and enjoy the view. However, I did notice some minor wear and tear in certain areas that could benefit from a bit of maintenance. The dining options were fantastic, especially the themed nights, but the beach had some hawkers which, while not overly intrusive, were present. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and a chance to unwind.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely magical! The location is beautifully tranquil, right on the beach, making it perfect for relaxation. The accommodation was quite comfortable, but I felt the layout of the rooms was a little too close together. The service was warm and welcoming, with staff always ready with a smile. Dining was a highlight, with a great variety of tasty options. Overall, the experience was wonderful, although some may find the food a bit repetitive after several days. I would definitely return for another visit!
