Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
One of the best beaches in the world. Grounds are well maintained, the staff is friendly, and Wi-Fi coverage is excellent. However, the central sitting areas in each bungalow are not air conditioned and so everything in there is rotting and smells so. The rooms don't look like the pictures and the furnishings are old and worn out. All of these shortcomings are easily correctable and a room overhaul is planned.
