The hotel had a magical location but unfortunately fell short in various aspects. The rooms were tiny with limited conditions and in need of a fresh upgrade. The service was friendly but lacked focus on day guests. Dining options were quite limited, and the location could become challenging to access during certain months.

The resort's rooms, though kind of old, were clean but not perfect, and the service was one of the best things about the place. The location, on a paradise island with beautiful beaches, is lovely, while the dining options could have been better. The facilities needed improvements but were okay overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but could use a little upgrade for the price. Unfortunately, not having a hot shower made things tricky, especially with a toddler. Despite needing improvements, it would have been a nice touch.

The location was wonderful, offering picturesque views. However, there were a few letdowns such as big water bottles instead of a more ideal situation on the beach with two beach areas.
