I had a lovely stay at this resort, tucked away in a stunning nature reserve right by the ocean. The rooms were both clean and large, making my stay comfortable. I really enjoyed the soothing atmosphere, but the dining options could use a bit of enhancement. The facilities, especially the pool area, were great, but they could use more lounge chairs. Overall, it was a solid experience with great value for money!

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the resort spa, perched on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere was so calming. The rooms were modern and spacious, but I found the dining options to be a bit lacking in variety. Despite that, the amenities were top-notch, and I felt the overall experience was good value for my money.

I had a wonderful time at the resort. The setting is truly beautiful, nestled right on the edge of the ocean in a private nature reserve. The amenities were quite impressive, though the dining options could use some expansion. Overall, it felt like a good value for money given the experience, but a few minor issues held it back from being perfect.

My stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by gorgeous nature and just a quick walk down to the beach. The rooms were both clean and spacious, offering a comfortable retreat. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, particularly at breakfast. The facilities, including the pool, were top-notch and really added to the experience. I do feel the Wi-Fi being an additional charge was a downside for the price I paid.
