My stay at the resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and a private beach that made my holiday special. The staff were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable.

I was absolutely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The service was misleading, and overall it felt like a ghost hotel with hardly any guests around. The lack of essential amenities made it feel more like a budget hostel than a resort. I wouldn't recommend it for families unless you're looking for a dull experience.
