The resort offers a beautiful escape with stunning views of the ocean, making it a perfect getaway for relaxation. I found the rooms to be spacious and nicely decorated, though they could use a bit of maintenance here and there. The dining options were good but could benefit from a broader selection of fruits and snacks. Overall, the resort provides a good experience for the price, but there are some areas that need attention.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location on the tip of Mantanani Island provides stunning views, making it a gorgeous spot to unwind. The rooms offered a nice sea view, but they are in desperate need of maintenance. The service was quite casual, with some staff appearing disengaged at times, but I appreciated their humor. Overall, while the resort has great potential, it needs some upgrades to truly shine.

Facilities were adequate, but nothing stood out as exceptional. It's essential to book spa activities in advance if you want to enjoy them, as many options were not readily available.
