Accommodation:
The resort features a total of 50 villas, including 35 one-bedroom options, along with a variety of two, three, four, and a single five-bedroom villa. Neil highlighted the unique layout of some accommodations, such as the 1.5 bedroom villas, where a sofa in the second bedroom doubles as a bed, along with dedicated maid rooms in select larger villas. Notably, no rooms lead directly to the beach to ensure the protection of the local sea turtle population.
