My stay at this resort was truly wonderful. The location is picturesque, overlooking a serene lagoon surrounded by lush jungle, which was a perfect backdrop for enjoying breakfast on the deck. The owner was exceptionally kind and went out of his way to help us with arrangements like a boat tour and transportation. While the dining experience was delightful, with generous breakfasts, I wish there were more options available. Overall, it’s great value for money, but the lack of variety in dining is something to consider.

The owner was incredibly welcoming and always ready to assist with planning our adventures, including a memorable boat tour. The atmosphere was serene, with lovely views of the lagoon and surrounding jungle, especially during breakfast on the deck.
