Awesome stay and excellent service

friendly staff fast check-in breakfast option diving experience

The staff was friendly. Check-in was fast. The breakfast offered many options. Beach towels were available upon request. Filtered water refill option was available. I could stay longer at the resort. I used the sunbeds after check out. The diving school provided an awesome diving experience at Shark Point. The diving experience was a plus.

The room was a little humid, and the bed had a faint smell. The room was cleaned, but the towels were not changed. The bed retained the smell.
