I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and kept very clean, offering a nice view. The staff provided excellent care, ensuring we had the best food and service. The location on the idyllic island was perfect, with easy access to the turquoise sea and restaurants. The dining experience, especially for Europeans, was delightful. However, the pricing could be more favorable, and the sea proximity might be noisy.

The hotel offers a serene escape on a small island with breathtaking turquoise views. The rooms are spotlessly clean and boast stunning vistas, though the bathroom layout could be better. The service is top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a delightful stay. Dining options cater more towards European tastes, and the location offers easy access to pristine beaches and a fantastic Thai restaurant.
