"Very smooth check-in, personable staff and nice rooms with good AC (it was hot outside!). Restaurant food choice was good and decent quality. Nice pool, no swimming/snorkeling from beach but in-house dive operation for excursions. Super convenient 20 mins transfer to airport. Bathrooms in the bungalows would benefit from an update. Overall good stay - we'll be back 🙂"
