First of all, the staff at this resort were fantastic. From the second I arrived they all went out of their way to make me feel like a VIP guest. They could not have been nicer. The resort itself is pretty cool. I’d say it has a Balinese or south Asian style to it, with boardwalks through the mangroves and a jungle feel.
I think this property has a lot of potential, but I do think it’s going through some growing pains. At the time I stayed here, the resort had only been open a few months. Many of the advertised amenities were not yet open, including the spa and several of the bars and restaurants. The one restaurant that was open did have good food and drinks though. The salads and fish dishes that I tried were very good.
My biggest issue was the noise. There was practically zero soundproofing on the rooms, and they are located less than 20 feet from a major highway. This was especially apparent every night around 11 pm, when the local sport bikers drag raced up and down the highway, which was so loud it woke me up every night. The pool-side doors aren’t much better, and there were some very rude guests blaring music until 1 am one night I was there and the doors did nothing to block the noise.
This resort has a ton of potential and the staff was so nice that I’d love to see it get more business. I would definitely give this place another chance if they can fix the noise issue in the rooms.
