The transfer from male involved another flight and speedboat. seriously? it reminded me of forever. the beach wasn't the clear blue i expected. There was seaweed EVERYWHERE. cockroaches in the outdoor bathroom added a certain... charm. the whole experience felt pretty average, especially considering the price.

Wonderful Anniversary Trip

friendly wordspecial birthdaywedding anniversaryservice delay
This trip was to celebrate a wedding anniversary and a milestone birthday. The staff ensured it was special. Managers were visible around the resort and always greeted us with friendly words. We've already booked for next year.
There were delays in service. It took a long time to get beach towels even after calling a few times. There seemed to be fewer choices in dishes after a while.
