I stayed for three nights and the overall experience was quite pleasant. The beachfront location is stunning, and the gardens maintain a lovely natural vibe. The service was excellent, especially from the manager, who really made us feel welcomed. However, the dark cottage we had lacked some comfort, and the food service was a bit slow. Despite this, it’s great value for money, especially in low season.

The coconut cottage we stayed in was a bit dark and airless, making it feel hot and drab at times. While it was comfortable, I expected a bit more in terms of lighting and airflow.

I had an unforgettable three-day stay at BlueWater, which is perfectly situated right on the beachfront. The property is stunning, and every cottage offers a beautiful sea view. The only downsides were the long car journey to get there and the fact that there’s no swimming pool onsite. The dining options were decent, and the atmosphere was friendly, which made for a pleasant experience overall.

My stay at the resort was truly memorable, offering a remarkable escape from the busy life. The ambiance was fantastic, and the views from the rooms were breathtaking. However, the service was sometimes lacking due to the reduced staff during the off-season, and finding the resort initially proved to be challenging.

Our stay at the resort was truly remarkable! The location was beautiful, providing breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were lovely, albeit a bit simple without hot water, but that didn’t diminish our experience. The staff was attentive and made us feel incredibly welcome. The dining options were fantastic, especially the fresh fish dishes. However, the service can be a bit slow at times. Overall, it's a perfect spot for a relaxing break by the beach.
