    There are lots of ants in the room.

    The property has beautiful views of the ocean and rock formations. There are many large jellyfish so swimming is really not an option. The food is good for a hotel property.

    It’s the most decent resort near Sohoton Cave! It does the job for a quick stay for those looking for pool and comfortable bed. Note if you are western, the room sizes and bathrooms are not too big.

    Be aware that there will be ants in your room. This didn't bother us but might be for some people.

    The resort is located in a quiet beach front area. The view is absolutely beautiful. Very nice for a quiet get-away. They do not allow guests bring their own food, however, they have a nice restaurant on site. Breakfast was complimentary and they can serve you in the cottage by the water. Wifi is only available at the restaurant area. Service was very good - staff were attentive to exchange towels and bring bottle waters for us. They offer some activities on the resort - The boat trip was not available, but we did kayak and a short cave tour.

    No signal and no wifi in rooms - only wifi was in the restaurant. Bar closed at 7:30pm so couldn’t get a cocktail with my dinner. Wish it stayed open a tad bit longer

    Beautiful area and peaceful. Very quiet. Really enjoyed the free 30 minute boat ride and cave tour. Staff were very pleasant and accomodating.

    Stayed overnight and there was no bath mat. There is also no phone in the room (garden villa) so eventually used the bath towel to dry my feet and dried the wet spots on the floor. Went to ask for a shower mat at the reception later in the day but met with some resistance saying I should not have done what I did (?) and that they don’t issue anymore towels full stop. Maybe they have laundry/ linen supply issues? Nonetheless this place has poor customer service. PS they eventually gave us a bath mat which was really an old torn up bath towel.

    The location and the resort is gorgeous, gardens are well maintained. The pool is also great!

    50% of the food was cold that should be hot. Music was loud past 11pm. Most who were other visitors agreed. Credit card machine was broken or not working. If travelers had arrived and were going to pay their bills with credit card they would be in a bad position. Thank God we brought some cash or our stay would had been worse.

    American breakfast was good but eggs were cold. Location was beautiful.
