Trevor
We were thrilled with the fantastic location of this resort, as it was situated right by the beach. The beach was just a few meters from our door, making it incredibly convenient for us to enjoy the sun and water whenever we pleased. The room we stayed in, a family beach bure, was comfortable and had a private bathroom, which was a nice advantage. The staff provided excellent service and the meals were enjoyable, especially with the live musical entertainment in the dining area.
There was one issue we encountered during our stay that negatively impacted our experience. The tented structures of the accommodations, although providing a rustic charm, were not able to keep the rain out.
