* Very spacious and comfortable room with a large, comfortable bed.
* Beautiful ocean views and a lovely balcony.
* Very peaceful and quiet at night — being able to hear the waves from the room was one of the highlights.
* The property offers a lot of privacy and has a beautiful beachfront setting.
* Overall, the service was friendly and good.
* Check-in: I arrived around 9:30 a.m. after an overnight flight and completely understood that early check-in wasn’t guaranteed. However, after being told I had to wait until 2:00 p.m., I was disappointed to still wait another 20 minutes after the official check-in time, especially having had no sleep.
* Spa: The 90-minute signature massage cost approximately USD 75. The therapist was good, but the spa itself felt run-down for that price and for a five-star property. The setup/equipment felt dated and the linens had a lingering massage-oil smell.
* Cleanliness: Generally clean, but some towels and bed linen had visible marks, and there were drain flies in the bathroom.
* Maintenance: The corridor immediately before my room consistently had a foul/wastewater-like smell, although I didn’t notice this elsewhere in the property.
* Bathroom privacy: The main balcony blind is automatic, but the bathroom privacy blind is manual. This was fine for me as a solo traveller, but could be a little tedious when sharing the room with family, as the blind needs to be manually lowered and raised each time.
* Service: Staff were friendly and service was generally good, but sometimes inconsistent. Breakfast could be quite slow during busy periods.
* Overall: These are individually small issues, but together they fell short of what I expected from a highly rated five-star property.

Breakfast was always freshly prepared with so much love, we genuinely loved the variety. During our 15-day stay, we never once felt like we were having the same breakfast twice, which made every morning something to look forward to.
But what truly made the experience special was the staff. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were greeted with nothing but genuine smiles, warmth and kindness.
This made our stay so special and unforgettable.
