I had a pleasant experience at the resort, which offered a nice ambiance and a spacious room that was quite comfortable for the price. The breakfast was satisfying, and the friendly staff made the overall stay enjoyable. However, some issues like the lack of toilet paper and an unclean pool detracted from the experience a bit. The location is great for a peaceful beach session, although it is a bit far from more crowded spots.

Overall, this resort offers a very basic experience and falls short of expectations. The surroundings can be unpleasant due to bad smells, and the facilities are lacking with no air conditioning and only shared bathrooms available at times. However, I appreciated having a balcony to enjoy some fresh air. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant stay.

This resort offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for freediving enthusiasts and those on a budget. The accommodations are affordable and it's just a short walk to a lovely beach. The food at the vegetarian restaurant is delicious, although there are a few quirks like the absence of hot water and some noise from cats and roosters. Overall, it's a great spot if you're seeking relaxation and activities, but the noise and lack of hot water might be a drawback for some.
