wonderful experience
nice view clean room awesome voucher
The breakfast included many choices and offered a nice view. my room was always very clean. i enjoyed the teh tarik made by julia and brayan. They were very kind! they also gave me vouchers.
the resort has a beach and it is very small. it is rocky too. you definitely need to wear slippers or water shoes in the water. the size of it is disappointing and there was rubbish in the water.
Service
