The beach front bungalow was beautiful, quiet and so handy to the beach. Unfortunately the snorkeling gear is unfit for purpose, both sets leaked and snorkel itself needs to be thrown out. Buffet dinner was terrible and definitely not worth the cost . I’d recommend going elsewhere. Breakfast on the other hand was excellent. Note happy hour 1/2 Price drinks ( still expensive) only pertain to cocktail list supplied. No other beverages are included. I would recommend staying here for bungalow and breakfast alone.
