I greatly enjoyed the jungle-like atmosphere of the resort. It was like an immersive experience with wildlife all around. having direct access to the pool from my room was fantastic. It made swimming convenient and relaxing. breakfast provided many choices. the main restaurant offered beautiful, calming views during dining.
i noticed a very faint musty smell upon entering my room at first. the pillows felt a little lumpy, impacting my sleep quality slightly.

I loved the lush, green grounds. They were so well kept! there were plenty of shady spots on the beach under the trees. the veranda beach restaurant was lovely. The food tasted amazing! the staff were friendly and greeted me always.
The outdoor restaurant had ants. I noticed some tables had not been cleaned properly before i sat down, it would have been a little better if the table was clear before i sat.
