The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel provides complimentary tuk-tuk service to and from town. I found three pools and available sun-loungers. The room was clean and well-equipped with necessities.

delicious food helpful staff spacious room quiet vibe
I thought the food at the restaurant was delicious. The beef soup tasted so good. The staff were warm, cute, and very helpful. The room was spacious and nice. I enjoyed how close the resort is from town square, even though it was quiet.
The beach nearby had a rocky section, it was not suitable for swimming.

small room poor explanation
The room size was a SERIOUS issue. I booked a room described as larger, but it was significantly smaller on arrival. This discrepancy was NOT minor. It seemed like a bait and switch. Staff didn't even offer a proper explanation. This left me frustrated .
