10/10 Excellent
"A very pleasant stay. The hotel is brand new, and you can tell they paid attention to every detail. Everything is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully designed. The staff is amazing and the service is consistently great! The beach is just a 5-minute walk away, and if you’re carrying a lot, they can take you there in a tuk-tuk from the hotel, which is very convenient. The pool is nice, they even have a wet sauna, and I understand they are planning to build a spa and gym too. The only small suggestion would be to include boiled eggs at breakfast. I am used to having more protein for breakfast. Other than that, everything was excellent! We would definitely come back!"
