Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Nice beach, beautiful views. Activities centre is great - staff are friendly and can help book excursions like snorkelling (about 50 usd total) and kayaking (free). Very safe and clean.
Negative: Pool shuts a little early. Food (breakfast and dinner buffet) was not bad but for the price & standard of place expected better - quite limited variety and quality wasn’t quite 10/10. Though they do have an a la carte restaurant that I didn’t try.
Summary: Overall safe and comfortable hotel in good location, staff are great, would stay again but likely dine elsewhere.
