I enjoyed my stay at the resort, especially the clean, spacious villas and the lovely pool area. The staff was friendly, making the atmosphere welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food at the restaurant, though the lack of free Wi-Fi was a bit disappointing. Overall, a peaceful getaway close to a beautiful beach, but the dining experience could still improve with more variety.
