This resort offers stunning views and is set in an incredible location right on the edge of the ocean. The ambiance is relaxing, and the amenities like the pool are quite enjoyable. Although my room was cozy, I found it a bit dated, and the dining experience, while decent, could benefit from more variety. Overall, it's a lovely spot, but there are areas that could use some improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, perched atop a cliff with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The rooms were modern and spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The only downside was that the dining options, while offering some traditional local cakes, could be expanded. The serene private beach access was a delight, though it could have been better maintained.
