The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Bright

During my stay, I was impressed by the Deluxe room which was clean, spacious, and filled with natural light thanks to the large windows. It had a beautiful balcony view where I enjoyed my coffee while listening to the sounds of birds in the morning. The ambiance was incredibly relaxing, giving me a sense of being one with nature.

Happy Hour Delight

I absolutely loved the 'Happy Hour' at the 801 Rooftop Restaurant. From 5 PM to 7 PM, they offered buy one take one cocktails which made for a good evening experience. The drinks were refreshing and paired perfectly with the stunning views of the sunset.

Adventurous Water Sports

I appreciated the variety of water sports available at the resort. The prices were reasonable compared to other places I've stayed. I tried snorkeling and was amazed by the marine life just off the shore. It was an exhilarating experience and a perfect way to explore the beautiful surroundings.

The service was attentive and courteous, making my experience very enjoyable. However, I did find the dining options to be quite average, with the buffet lacking variety and value for money. Additionally, the location left something to be desired, as there wasn't much around to explore.
