Excellent Stay in a Beautiful Setting

spacious pavilionseparate areasoutdoor sitting areaunsecured gate

I found the Beautiful Pavilion spacious. It had separate lounge and bedroom areas. The bathroom offered a bathtub and a separate shower. I appreciated the outdoor sitting area.

I noticed that the villa's gate to the beach did not lock. People occasionally wandered into the villa. They thought it was a public right of way.

The Beautiful Pavilion included a lounge area downstairs and a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It felt private. The room had a small outdoor sitting area. It was generally well maintained, but felt a bit dated.

The location of the hotel was acceptable. It offered access to multiple beaches.

I was disappointed by the noise from tourist boats. It was very loud and smelly, especially during breakfast. the diesel fumes made it difficult to enjoy my meal and conversations. the tractor used for hauling guests added to the cacophony and stink.

It featured three beaches and a fine pool. The hotel sat beside cliffs and rocks. Lush natural growth surrounded the entire area. I also saw hornbills in the trees. The villa was superb and private. It was hidden among the trees. Staff members were friendly. Three restaurants offered delicious food, including one in a natural cave.

The boat traffic created slight noise at times. This happened especially near the breakfast area. It was not always peaceful.
