My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were well-equipped and comfortable, and I had the chance to experience both the Deluxe villa and the water villa. Just a tip, remember to book the Japanese restaurant in advance for a delightful dining experience. The Beach Villa with a pool located close to the Chill Bar was a real treat.
