Lovely Spa Treatments

I had a wonderful experience at the on-site spa, where I indulged in a Signature Massage. The ambiance was tranquil, and the therapist did an excellent job. After my treatment, I was offered ginger tea, which was a lovely touch. It truly felt like a retreat within the resort – the perfect way to unwind after a day of diving.

My stay at this resort was a beautiful surprise, offering an exquisite experience overall. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, and the food is fantastic, particularly the breakfast with stunning views. However, the pool can feel a bit crowded, especially with the diving lessons and the snorkelling bookings favoring divers first. Despite these minor hitches, I truly appreciated my time here and can’t wait to return.
