Our experience at this resort was better than expected. We didn't have high expectations since it is a 3-star resort and the price was affordable. We arrived at 3 pm for check-in, but unfortunately, we couldn't access our room until after 4 pm. Despite this delay, our overall experience was mostly positive. The food and beverage options were average at best, but the room was clean and comfortable. However, the activities offered were limited. On the bright side, the staff was extremely friendly and always ready to assist. The highlight of our stay was the nightly entertainment, which was both creative and lively. In conclusion, we had a good time and would recommend this resort if you are on a tight budget.

The rooms could use some upgrades, and there are a few things that should be mentioned to guests when booking, such as the kids club not being available. Additionally, it's important to note that there is a fee of $39 USD if you arrive early before check-in time and wish to use the facilities before getting your room. The housekeepers tend to be a bit slow in cleaning the rooms. Apart from these issues, we had a great time. Overall, I would rate this hotel at 95%.

The beach was alright. Other than the evening dance competitions among guests, there weren't any other activities to do during the day except for swimming in the pool or at the beach. The dining options had specific time frames, so you couldn't eat whenever you wanted, even though it was an all-inclusive resort. The staff were always pleasant and helpful whenever I interacted with them. The beach itself was absolutely stunning, pristine, and breathtakingly beautiful.

The hotel premises are exceptionally tidy, and the staff is extremely amiable and accommodating. I want to give a special mention to Leah Jet Li and Mr. Cool from activities, as well as Kim from the dining room, who provided excellent service as our server. Rochelle from the front desk was incredibly helpful and pleasant during our check-in process. I also want to express my gratitude to Chef Anthony, who went the extra mile to ensure we could enjoy some delicious curry goat on our final day. Thank you to everyone for your exceptional service!
