Why People Love It

  • The massive, palm-lined lagoon pool that feels like a private water garden
  • Exclusive access and shuttles to Catch Beach Club (the place to be seen)
  • Personalized room scents and pillow menus upon arrival

Quick Take: It’s not actually on the beach, but the pool is so good you might not care.

Reviewed by @mettahara: I stayed in the Lagoon Pool Access room and it was pure magic. From the flower bath to the VIP nights at Catch Beach Club, this was the perfect romantic getaway for us.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

A stylish, serene sanctuary with incredible staff (shoutout to 'Bank') and a breakfast buffet that punches way above its weight.

Reality check

The walk to the beach through an open field can be muddy in the rainy season, and the 'resort' feel stops at the property line.

  • You appreciate a 'scent menu' for your room upon check-in
  • You want a party atmosphere at the beach club but dead silence where you sleep
  • You are a 'flashpacker' or couple looking for affordable luxury

Cleanliness & Maintenance

9.5
  • Housekeeping: Exceptional. Staff are noted for being unobtrusive and thorough, often folding clothes left out.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Pristine. Walk-in rain showers are a highlight; no mold issues reported in recent reviews.
  • Maintenance: Interiors are well-kept, but the exterior shows signs of tropical aging (stained walls, cracked tiles).
  • Linens & towels: High quality. You can even choose your pillow type from a menu.
  • Odors & scents: Customizable. You pick your room scent at check-in (e.g., jasmine, lemongrass).
