We had a lovely time overall at the hotel, particularly enjoying the stunning beach views and the cozy, well-equipped hut. However, there were a few downsides, such as the hot tub issues and lack of privacy due to the location of our hut. While our stay was comfortable, I wish we could have had a more relaxing experience with better views.
