I had an amazing stay at this resort! The atmosphere was so inviting, and I ended up extending my stay because of how much I loved it. The dorms were impeccably clean and cozy, while the communal areas offered a great place to relax. The only downside was the rain during my visit, which limited my time outdoors. Overall, it felt like a hidden jungle paradise, and I can't wait to return!

My stay was quite mixed; while the location was close to the beach and the communal bar area was lively, I encountered some issues that made my visit less than ideal. The shared bathroom was clean, but the dorm I stayed in had stained sheets, which was disappointing. Also, the party atmosphere may not suit everyone, especially if you're after a quiet getaway.

The hotel offers a vibrant atmosphere, especially for younger guests, with a fun common area and tasty dining options. While the massage services were exceptional and the pool was enjoyable, the higher prices for food and activities felt a bit excessive. The overall vibe might not suit those over 20 looking for something more relaxed.

The pool area was a highlight, allowing for relaxation at any time of day or night, but I found the bar options a bit limited and a scooter is recommended to reach other areas.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the communal facilities were nice. However, the cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired, and the noise levels during my stay were disturbing. The pool was quite chlorinated, which was a letdown given the overall setting.

My stay at this resort was a lot of fun! The staff was energetic and made sure we were entertained, particularly before heading out for the full moon party. The meals were delicious, and I loved that they offered healthy options. However, there were some cleanliness issues in the bathroom that could have been improved.
