i found the private beach access very convenient. the beach was clean and offered a tranquil , quiet experience , perfect for relaxation. the swimming pool was large and well kept , surrounded by greenery. i particularly enjoyed the new year's eve celebration, with its gala dinner and entertainment.
i noticed the lack of safes in the rooms was a concern. securing valuables was difficult , and it would be useful to have this facility.
