I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the outdoor area is quite nice and the access to the reef is superb, the rooms were a huge letdown. I found them dingy, dull, and not at all what I expected from a resort. The dining options were basic, and the fact that they only took cash was quite inconvenient. Overall, if you're not focused on diving, I would suggest looking for alternatives.

Rooms

The rooms were dingy and had a hard mattress on a concrete slab. They lacked basic amenities and felt more like a dive center than a resort.

I had an amazing experience at the resort! The diving was truly spectacular with unique marine life just a boat ride away. The rooms were spacious and offered great views of the sea. The only downside was the need to take a short trike ride for dining options outside the resort, but the peaceful atmosphere made up for it. Overall, it’s a perfect place for anyone looking to relax and dive.

The resort is right on the edge of a stunning reef, and close to White Beach, which is a quiet area perfect for relaxation. However, reaching nearby restaurants requires a short tricycle ride.

The dining experience was great too, but do be prepared for a slower service as they make everything fresh. The approach road to the resort can be a bit concerning, but overall, it was a fantastic place to relax and dive.

This hotel offers a unique charm with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The rooms are clean, though somewhat dated, and the service is attentive. While the location is quite remote, making trips to local restaurants a bit of a trek, the great food and experiences available make up for it. However, there are issues with management that could affect your stay.
