The hotel is old and requires an upgrade. I stayed at the beach front villa, it has a nice view though.

Beautiful location and lots of nature in and around the resort. My only real complaint is that the food was disappointing.

"The staff was very kind helping us navigate the check in. The “king and twin” room was very spacious. There were local options for eating around as well as conscience stores. Great for our one night stay before our flight the next morning."

"The breakfast was probably the worst thing I have ever been served. We didn’t order it again. The hotel is very simple, nothing luxurious but okay for the price. It had Netflix and a kitchen/ sofa which was nice."
