It was a very cool remote location. The bed was comfortable, there was a nice shower and a nice view. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Unique spot, great snorcheling spot. Great dive base (CV divers) and good restaurant (Coral view) just next door. Founder is still around - everyone super friendly

The location is incredible. Waking up with the sound of the sea was magical, with so much green and nature around you. The small beach had an incredible fauna, we have never seen so many fishes and we were so stoked to see small sharks and turtles. We also took some of the classes that the resort offers, and we had such a lovely day waking up with yoga in the morning and learning a bit of Muay Thai in the afternoon.

As a family of 5 we had two sea-facing rooms with an additional mattress at a surcharge. The rooms were clean, stylish and had good aircon. The view was amazing. They had a reasonable restaurant on site and a bar with a private beach. We loved that it was quiet and away from the busier streets. The snorkelling was amazing. They offered activities daily and the yoga was great. There is an on site Spa. The staff work hard and are friendly and attentive.
