This resort boasts an ideal location right next to a beautiful private beach, with clean and spacious rooms.

The pool was clean and well-maintained, but the air conditioning in the rooms needs an upgrade for a more comfortable stay.

Our stay was a mix of fantastic and frustrating moments. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a comfortable experience. The beachfront access was a major plus, allowing for relaxation by the sea. However, the service was exceptionally slow, and we encountered some unexplained restrictions that dampened the experience. Prices for food and drinks were on the higher side, especially for the bar.
