We enjoyed the muay thai boxing introduction. ocean breath meditation and spa treatments were also great. a private cookery course was a highlight. We are big foodies. the food was excellent and every meal was delicious. the wedding day was everything we hoped for, a dream come true.

the villa could use some updating. i noticed chipped wooden furniture and crooked plastic light switches. the bedding felt more like a 3-star hotel, not the luxury i expected at this price point.

the staff was very helpful. every member of the team seemed happy to assist us. the villas WERE really good. nan were pretty good too make sure we had everything we needed. she even gave us her number.

the hotel didn't contact us before our stay. this lack of contact meant we didn't discuss transport or activities. the beach is completely unusable. it is full of coral and rocks, disappointing.
