This is an amazing resort. It has everything you need. The restaurants are great the pools are awesome. The grounds are well keep. The staff are so friendly. So many activities. Just the perfect place to go and relax.
Love the location, beach, breakfast buffet and swimming. Had a steam bath in the room. Some of the buildings and facilities need some TLC.
Great beach. The food was good. I liked the gym. Good resort!
The entire villa is beautifully designed. Like it near beach but my villa was not directly in front of the beach. Has got a small pool but pool not so clean to swim in.
Clear waters around d resort but not meant for swimming though. Convenient transfer to the nearby islands.
Unfortunately I could not enjoy the beach due to jellyfish....
The resort is perfect if you want to relax. It was very quiet, even at CNY, we practically had the place to ourselves. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the setting is beautiful.
Nice staying, staff is really kind and helpful always. They have servals actitites to provide to the guests (free or charges) in the island. Good place for relaxing holiday.
Good place for relaxing and for family with small childrens. Swimming pool and beach at one place.
