I had a lovely time at this resort spa, which is ideally located right on the beach and immersed in nature. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, but there's room for improvement regarding amenities. The restaurant had some excellent traditional food options, though breakfast could use more variety. Overall, it was a relaxing stay, but it would be nice if Wi-Fi was included in the rate.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa! The rooms were pristine and offered a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation after a day at the beach. The location was stunning, with direct access to the sandy shore and the serene sound of waves. However, I found the dining options to be lacking in variety, especially at breakfast. Overall, it's a great getaway spot, although you may want to explore other dining options nearby.

This resort spa is a gem right on Pangawe beach, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean, but the dining options left me wanting more variety. The pool is lovely and well-kept, making it an ideal spot to relax after a day at the beach. While the prices are reasonable, the Wi-Fi should be included rather than an additional charge for convenience.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa, with clean and comfortable accommodations that really made me feel at home. The staff were courteous and helpful, which enhanced my experience. The only downside was the limited breakfast options, and although the pool area was beautiful, I wish it had more shaded seating. Overall, it was a great value for money, especially given the amazing beach access.

The hotel is perfectly situated right on the beach, surrounded by beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. I found the rooms to be quite clean and comfortable, but the dining experience left something to be desired as the breakfast choices were rather limited. The facilities, especially the pool area, were really nice and well-kept, making for a relaxing stay. While the prices felt reasonable, I wish Wi-Fi had been included as it came at an extra cost.
