My stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful! It was located at the tranquil end of Sairee Beach, providing a peaceful atmosphere while still being close enough to enjoy the lively parts of town. The bungalows were spacious, comfortable, and clean, making it an excellent value for my holiday. The only downside was that I wished the Wi-Fi had been a bit more reliable. Overall, I can't recommend it highly enough!

Our stay at the resort was pleasant, with comfortable bungalows right on the beach. The snorkeling was fantastic, and the staff were genuinely helpful. However, the standard bungalow we had could use some updates, and the Wi-Fi was frustratingly weak unless you were near the main facilities. Overall, I felt it offered good value for a relaxing holiday despite some drawbacks.
