What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Coconut Delight

The restaurant has a beautiful deck stretching out towards the sea, surrounded by palm trees. Whenever I wanted a coconut or a piña colada, the staff would climb the trees to oblige, which added a unique touch to my dining experience. It’s not something you find at fancy resorts!

Relaxing Vibes

I truly enjoyed the tropical environment surrounding the beach. Despite the simple accommodations, the beautiful sands and clear waters provided a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The overall natural ambiance made my stay enjoyable.

Active Adventures

I had a wonderful time playing billiards during my stay. It was complimentary, providing an excellent way to unwind in the evenings after spending time on the beach. Many nights were filled with laughter and friendly competition with other guests.

Cozy Cottage

The cottage I stayed in was charming and had a rustic feel, which I found endearing. While it lacked modern luxuries, the simplicity matched the tranquil environment, allowing me to focus on the beauty around me rather than on technology.

The resort offers a tranquil and rejuvenating escape with a private beach perfect for relaxation. The living area is cozy and the staff is eager to help plan activities like romantic dinners on the beach. However, those seeking modern amenities like hot showers and TVs might be disappointed with the basic room offerings. Overall, it’s a great choice for weary travelers looking to unwind amidst nature.
