Idyllic Beachfront Escape

delicious meal fresh ingredient professional instructor helpful staff

I loved the restaurant. It offered delicious meals with fresh ingredients (the seafood was excellent!). The dive center at the resort gave me a chance to explore the underwater world. The instructors were very professional. I found the yoga classes very beneficial. They helped me start my day with energy. I appreciated that the staff was very kind and helpful .

The beach had many boats, so swimming directly in front of the resort was sometimes challenging.
