We had poor experience but tried to keep this review focused on our overall impressions.
Would not return, not special enough for money, but if diving main focus then may be a good option.
Resort itself is a dive centre with accommodation, restaurant and spa, not a luxury resort.
Dive centre appeared proficient (we didn’t use).
The staff were friendly and eager to please but service not slick.
Main restaurant offers too much choice and suffers from doing nothing well. For example, despite a pizza oven the result was more like toasted bread with some toppings.
Ocean restaurant doesn’t really exist, just an upsell dining experience and food quality not worth the high costs.
Room rustic rather than luxurious, bed uncomfortable, no curtains so light pollution severe and unfortunately there was building work noise well past darkness.
Resort offers tours to nearby islands. There is no pier or dock to access boats for these trips, you have to wade out into sea and make way up precarious gangplank with rail held alongside. I’m over 6 feet and water well above my waist getting on and off and I found the whole process very stressful and was convinced I would fall. Sea was also rougher than we expected.
Whilst there, both my wife and I suspect we had food poisoning, management argued it was a bug! Whatever it was ruined our stay, and to avoid similar problems I would encourage anyone staying to be very careful. The hygiene standards we saw at the Beach Bar for example below standard.
