Fun for the Kids!

My kids had a blast at the two pools available at the resort. They spent hours swimming and enjoying the water, which made our family vacation all the more nice. This place is ideal for families looking for fun activities for their children.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this resort, which was clean and well-kept with a lovely pool area. The ambiance was nice with a garden and peepal trees around. However, I was disappointed by the absence of a television in the room and the presence of mosquitoes in the evening. Despite these drawbacks, the helpful staff and the arrangement of nearby dining made my stay enjoyable.

The hotel offers cozy rooms with a private balcony and is well-maintained, making it a comfortable stay. However, the lack of basic amenities such as a TV and complimentary water can be frustrating, and the service isn't consistent, which detracts from the overall experience. It's also close to the beach, providing convenient access to the shoreline.

I had quite a mix of experiences during my stay. The hotel is located just a short walk from the beach and a nice cliff top area filled with shops, which was definitely a highlight. However, my room, while decent in size and equipped with air conditioning, was lacking essential amenities and cleanliness. The service was just okay, given that there was no housekeeping during my entire stay. The pool facilities were limited, but they did allow for some relaxation under the sun.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the atmosphere was unexpectedly relaxing and the swimming pool area was nicely compact, my initial impression of the room was disappointing due to its gloominess. However, I quickly found a better room with a large balcony overlooking the pool that made my stay more enjoyable. The hotel's location is convenient, being a short walk from the beach and charming shops, which added to the overall value.
