My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I loved the stunning views of the beach. The staff were friendly and attentive, although the dining options were somewhat limited. The location was perfect for accessing the coral reefs, but a few amenities could use improvement. The pricing felt reasonable for the experience, yet there are a couple of areas that could benefit from enhancement.
