"The rooms were clean, attractive, smartly deigned and well maintained. The staff were incredibly helpful, always cheerful. The place is lovely, and small enough to make you feel you're not in hotel. There's as a warm and cosy vibe, with the patio units wrapped around the pool and a beachfront bar. A second-floor restaurant serves a hearty breakfast and lunch. Lavanya is also open for dinner, though we found some more exotic dinner options just a short drive up the coast (notably the Beach Cafe and the upscale yet still very affordable Mahi Mahi dive resort.) As for the snorkelling & diving, we would go further afield to explore an epic coral landscape around the corner from the Beach Cafe. But there is a more modest yet wonderfully rich reef just off the beach in front of the resort."
