pristine beachhigh quality foodmango saladfinal bill

I liked the location. It is surrounded by ancient rainforest and a pristine beach. It feels special and peaceful. The food across the resort was excellent . The food was consistently high quality and beautifully prepared.

I did not manage to get a place despite a 5 days stay. The Malay restaurant is excellent, I do recommend it. We had some hairs in the Mango salad at the Thai restaurant. The salad was on the final bill. There were no apology from the staff.
