Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, the stunning overwater villas provided breathtaking views and a unique snorkeling experience just steps from our room. The staff was incredibly attentive and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. On the downside, the dining options were often mediocre compared to the high prices we paid, and the rooms had some awkward design issues. Overall, it was a beautiful location with a lack of value for money in terms of food and amenities.
