I had an overall decent experience at the resort. The location was fantastic and perfect for watching the sunrise on the idyllic beach, and the rooms were clean though quite basic. However, the dining experience was severely lacking, especially during breakfast service, which caused quite a bit of stress. I think the restaurant needs serious improvement in its service to match the lovely surroundings.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location is stunning with a beautiful beachfront, making it perfect for sunrise views. However, the room I stayed in was quite run down, which was disappointing. The restaurant offered decent food, but the slow service took away from the experience. Overall, while it's in a great spot, the facilities need some serious upgrades to match the stunning surroundings.

The facilities are lacking; the garden cottage felt very basic and not up to par for the price point. There were stray animals around, which also detracted from the experience.
