“The private beach is a real draw, tucked away amongst those striking limestone cliffs. Villas with private pools offer unobstructed ocean views, although some areas show their age. I think the location is ideal for a secluded getaway, as long as guests don't mind the unique access via speedboat or the 'monkey trail'.”

The spa treatment i had was relaxing, the best i've experienced. The beach felt very private and the setting was fine. breakfast offered a large variety. the thai restaurant served excellent dishes. the exterior decorations added a touch of beauty and charm to the overall setting.
i noticed some slight wear and tear in the room. it didn't significantly affect my stay. but it's worth noting for those who prioritize pristine conditions.
