This resort spa provides a clean and comfortable atmosphere, with staff who genuinely seem to care about guest satisfaction. The setting is picturesque, nestled among the jungle, making for a serene getaway. However, I found the dining experience to be a letdown due to limited choices and long wait times. Overall, it's a relaxing place, but a bit of attention to dining would enhance the experience.

The resort offers a tranquil escape with lovely beach views and clean, spacious rooms. The staff is incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to assist guests. However, the dining options are quite limited and could use some improvement. The location is peaceful but a bit removed from lively activities, making it perfect for relaxation but not for those seeking nightlife.

My stay at the resort was quite an experience. The view overlooking the South China Sea was absolutely breathtaking, and the beach felt like a private haven most of the time. However, the room was a bit stuffy, and the dining options were disappointing, lacking variety and quality. Overall, while the resort had its charms, some aspects weren't ideal.

Having the beach almost to ourselves was a huge plus. It was beautifully set up with hammocks and lounge chairs, although the music from the nearby places could get a bit overwhelming.

The dining options left a lot to be desired; the menu was limited, especially at the Olive restaurant, and the meals weren't worth the price.

My stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and came with a lovely balcony, which I really enjoyed. However, I was pretty let down by the dining experience; the food service really needs improvement, especially for a place that claims to be a five-star resort. The facilities, especially the pool area, were excellent, and I found some aspects of the customer service to be quite attentive and friendly, which I appreciated.
