Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The views from the rooms were stunning, and we appreciated being in a unique wooden structure. However, the check-in process was chaotic, and the dining options were limited with slow service. While the beach was decent, the noise from neighboring rooms and the mosque nearby made our nights less restful. All in all, we enjoyed some aspects, but there's definitely room for improvement.

The resort offers stunning views and beautiful architecture, making it a picturesque getaway. While the villas are spacious and lovely, the high volume of guests detracts from the peaceful experience one might expect from a luxury resort. The service was inconsistent, with some friendly staff and others lacking warmth, and the reliance on a bus system can be inconvenient. Overall, it's worth considering, but be prepared for some drawbacks.
