Beautiful Spacious Villas

I stayed in one of the garden bungalows, and I absolutely loved it! The layout provided total privacy, which made our stay feel luxurious and serene. The outdoor shower was a wonderful touch, and I appreciated the well-appointed space, including a refrigerator for our drinks. Perfect for a romantic getaway!

Fantastic Dining Experience

Dining at the On The Beach restaurant was a highlight of my stay. The sand floor gave it a casual vibe, and I enjoyed delicious meals with stunning views. The all-day cocktail menu was a treat, and I highly recommend trying the Mango Tango! It was hard to beat such a perfect atmosphere for sunset dinners.

Pure Relaxation

The resort’s pool was a fantastic spot to unwind after a long day. It was clean, deep, and offered plenty of loungers for relaxation. I loved the option to swim in the lagoon as well, providing a wonderful balance of leisure activities. There were free daily activities that allowed guests to mingle and explore together!
