This resort is amazing. The price is perfect for what you get. The staff are so friendly and the beachfront rooms are unbelievable. The lagoon is great for swimming and snorkelling and you can walk between resorts in the area. Would definitely recommend this resort and we would definitely stay again next time we visit.

Broken sliding door on ground floor unit.
We stayed one night and the sliding door on our ground floor room had a broken lock. Could not secure valuables or feel safe. The front desk said they would send someone to fix it. The guy brought a thin bamboo stick that he broke on his knee which did not secure the door. Front desk said that since we were only staying one night they would not give us another room, even though we had not used the room. We noticed the broken sliding door as soon as we left called in the room and notified them. Horrible experience.
