لوگ اسے کیوں پسند کرتے ہیں
- Infinity pool with direct views of Campomanes Bay
- Villas with private plunge pools and massive sea-view balconies
- Starlink internet (100+ Mbps) making it surprisingly work-friendly
فوری جائزہ: A lush, nature-first hideaway where the diving is world-class but the 'Terrace Rooms' feel like a noticeable downgrade.
@jean_fitbody نے جائزہ دیا: I stayed in the Kamagong villa and honestly, the private plunge pool on the balcony stole the show. Waking up to that ocean view and just floating in peace was exactly the reset I needed. If you want total privacy and nature vibes, this is the spot.

جانے سے پہلے جاننے کی 5 چیزیں
💡The 'Terrace Room' downgrade is significant (no fridge is a dealbreaker for some).
💡The resort has its own resident pets (bearded dragons/dogs) that you might meet.
💡You might spot a 'lionfish' or 'stonefish' right off the beach — wear water shoes.
💡The fire alarm has been known to be sensitive (one guest reported a 1 AM wake-up call).
💡The sunset view from the Villa plunge pool is arguably better than the main pool.
