Really good Food Experience

During my stay, I enjoyed some of the delicious meals at the resort's dining area. While we did face some issues with service, the food was absolutely great and vibrant. I especially loved the seafood dishes that were rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. I'd recommend the grilled prawns—they were simply lovely!

Comfortable and Spacious Rooms

The room I stayed in was spacious and designed with a luxurious touch. Although there were some issues with curtains upon arrival that let in too much light, the team promptly addressed it. Once resolved, the room became a cozy retreat, equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
