Wonderful Beach Stay!

lush gardenfabulous atmospherewonderful beachfreebies

I am so glad I chose this hotel! Its garden with coconut trees makes a fabulous atmosphere, especially at night. The sand is similar to Boracay. This makes for a wonderful beach, even with some coral. We really appreciated the many freebies. A staff member, Sevie, was very thoughtful. He saw our child was uncomfortable during breakfast and immediately gave us a fan. I was very impressed by this attentiveness.

There were no sun loungers or any form of seats on the private side of the resort. All seats were crammed in the middle, where day entries were also relaxing.

Excellent Beach Amenities

The beachfront has very nice amenities. I saw a lot of areas designed for resting. The staff were friendly and accommodating which I appreciated. I enjoyed the beach setup with colorful umbrellas and cozy bean bags scattered across the sand.

The gym could use an upgrade as it only has a handful of machines.

The location is excellent near the airport and on a wonderful, long beach. It is a fairly quiet beach, perfect for a relaxed vacation. The hotel is big and spread out, so it didn't feel busy even on sold out days.
