I had a very mixed experience at this resort. The beach is stunning and perfect for a relaxing getaway, but the service and room amenities fell flat. There’s so much potential here, especially with the beautiful views, but the aspects that matter most to a comfortable stay, like communication and room upkeep, left me disappointed.

Rooms

6.0

The room was acceptable but not as well-stocked as I expected, especially considering the price we paid. It was a bit disappointing not to have basic toiletries replenished, and the TV was quite small.

Service

5.0

Unfortunately, the service was lacking. I found it frustrating that nobody communicated properly about our needs leading up to our stay, especially for such an important occasion.

Location

7.0

The location is what saves this place; being near a gorgeous beach is definitely a highlight, but the lack of direct access was inconvenient.

While the resort has good potential, there are ongoing developments that detracted from our experience, and I noticed there was no pool available.

Our stay at this resort was a mixed bag. The views from the Toi Toi tent were absolutely stunning, and we felt cozy and relaxed throughout our visit. However, the dining experience was disappointing in terms of quality versus price, and the restaurant could certainly improve its ambiance. Overall, if you're looking for beautiful views and unique accommodations, this place is worth a visit, but don't go expecting a high-end dining experience.

It's perfectly situated overlooking the ocean, which made for a serene and picturesque stay.

Dining

While the food was nice, it was on the pricier side for what we received and could really benefit from a more refined touch.

Facilities

7.0

The resort had several fun facilities, like the outdoor bath and archery, but the restaurant ambiance could use a makeover.

My stay was a mixed bag. The chalet had an incredible view and was in a great spot, but it was showing some wear. The service in the restaurant was quite poor, which put a damper on the experience. While the meals were tasty, the service issues throughout my stay might make me think twice about returning.
