Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I had a wonderful experience at the day spa on-site. The service was really good, and I felt utterly rejuvenated after my treatment. The spa's tranquil atmosphere helped me unwind completely. It was a perfect way to pamper myself on my vacation.

Delicious Thai Cuisine

I enjoyed a good meal at the on-site Thai restaurant during my visit. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. It was a fantastic option for dinner after a long day on the beach, and I highly recommend trying the green curry!

Perfect Room and Amenities

I booked the Beachfront Beauty #182 and was blown away by how beautifully appointed the room was. Everything was newly renovated, and the large king-size bed was incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, making my stay super convenient and enjoyable.

Perfect for Kids

My family had an amazing time at the resort. The kids loved spending hours in the pool and the smaller children's pools were ideal for their age. They also enjoyed the outdoor play areas scattered throughout the beautifully landscaped grounds, making it a fun place for everyone.

I had a mostly enjoyable stay at Nautilus. The villa was spacious and clean, really great for a family getaway. The pool area was lovely, but the restaurant didn't quite meet my expectations. The beach was beautiful to look at, although swimming wasn't safe. Overall, it was a fantastic family-friendly spot, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially with the dining options.

Our two-bedroom villa was very spacious, filled with light, and well-equipped for our family needs. We enjoyed the private courtyard and the comfortable king-size bed.

The reception staff were absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. Although the indoor spa was closed for two days due to unforeseen circumstances, the owner of the beauty salon went above and beyond to accommodate us.

The resort is beautifully situated with lush gardens surrounding it, and even though the beach isn't safe for swimming, it's still breathtaking to be so close to the ocean.

The on-site restaurant left something to be desired. While it wasn’t quite up to par with the rest of the resort, we managed just fine with other dining options nearby.

The pool was a great feature that we enjoyed, as well as the well-maintained tennis courts and barbecue area. However, the indoor spa was unfortunately unavailable for part of our stay.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On one hand, the location was beautiful and the villa was comfortable with great amenities. On the other hand, the parking situation was a hassle and the service management could have been much better. I was left feeling frustrated after my encounter with the manager, which overshadowed the positives of my stay.

I recently spent a lovely weekend in a villa with friends that offered beautiful amenities like a heated pool, beach access, and well-maintained grounds. The villa itself was a fantastic choice for relaxation with spacious rooms. However, my overall experience was tainted by an unprofessional check-in process and some maintenance issues in the room. Overall, it was a memorable trip and great value for money.

My stay had its ups and downs. The apartment was unfortunately not well-maintained and cleanliness was a major issue, which was disappointing. However, the communication from reception was good. With some improvements in maintenance, this place could be much better.
