serene stay

ample supplyisolated viewfuel vapor

this resort offers spacious villas with private pools. i liked the ample supply of bottled water provided daily in the room. i also enjoyed that all villas have isolated views that allow skinny dipping in your pool.

the buggy service used diesel pickup trucks that felt poorly maintained. i was often breathing fuel vapors during transport around the resort.

The location was fine, the beautiful beach provided a serene atmosphere. the staff was cute. there were several restaurants. They served different, but always delicious food. also, the resort offered a variety of activities such as yoga sessions, and engaging cooking lessons.

The villa interiors seemed dated. the showers had simple hot and cold taps with no thermostatic mixer. the doors didn't always latch. The batteries for one door's keycard system needed replacement twice .
