The breakfast had good options on the hotel menu for both lunch and dinner.

The shuttle service was minimal. This made it difficult to go back and forth from the beach. The hotel did not come to pick me up from the pier. I had to walk 5-10 minutes with luggage on bad roads.

The location was quite scenic with very nice views. i loved the provided tuk-tuk service. It really helped with the hill. our superior double beach shuttle room included a balcony overlooking the pool and sea. It was quite fine. i appreciate that the staff was friendly and helpful.

The shower pressure in my room was poor. There was also no hot water for a couple of days, made showering unpleasant.
