This resort is a serene paradise, blending luxury with nature seamlessly. The accommodations are charming and spacious, with delightful staff who truly make your stay memorable. The diving tours were an absolute highlight, showcasing an unspoiled barrier reef teeming with marine life. However, the beach was not as pristine as expected, and the sand had some sea grass, which detracted from the experience. Overall, it's a magical place that I can't wait to revisit.
