So I came here for the first time on a group trip celebrating two of my friends. I honestly did not know what to expect I saw a beautiful Resort and the beach and that was all I needed to say yes. The resort essentially gives you a Vibe of going on a holistic retreat. You are pretty much disconnected there is Wi-Fi in one area of the hotel. There aren't much activities on site at the hotel to do but they offer things that you can book in the nearby area. Once the sun sets it around 7:00 p.m. it gets really dark and you do need a flashlight to help you navigate from your room to the bar or other places on the property. There is no hot water but considering how hot and humid it is I really appreciated the cool showers outdoors. The mosquitoes have not come to play so please bring your bug repellent. It's a beautiful place to get away and be one with nature. If you are looking for five star Cuisine I don't think you're going to find it here. The best things that I enjoy on the menu was the coconut curry and this other fish stew dish which was coconut milk and tomato. Outside of that I had difficulty finding other things that I really enjoyed and I am a foodie at heart so that aspect of it did let me down. You do get daily fresh fruit juice every morning with your breakfast but keep in mind if the fruits not sweet the juice is not going to be sweet. The staff was fantastic, cery accomodating and helpful. That made tge overall experience worthwhile.
