The beach is still abundant with seagrass, although it adds to the natural beauty of the place. However, on the southern side of the cement seawall, the water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The beach is wonderful and mostly composed of fine sand, making it an ideal place to relax and soak up the sun.

The beach personnel were exceptional, providing superb service throughout our stay. The cost of food and beverages was incredibly reasonable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the nominal admission fee per person. Moreover, we were fortunate to avoid any problems with seaweed during our visit.

The picturesque beach surrounding the resort was a sight to behold, and we couldn't help but feel relaxed and at ease as we basked in the sun. We were so enamored with our experience that we are already planning to make this an annual getaway.
