The resort was a fantastic retreat after our safari, with a stunning beach and excellent food options. The rooms were spacious and clean, though I wished for bathrobes to match the quality of our safari lodges. The service was generally good, but I had some issues with the staff's treatment that made me uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxing getaway, but I hope improvements are made for employee well-being.
