In summary, my stay started well, but unfortunately, it ended on a very disappointing note.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, with a stunning location and a lovely setting. The views are amazing, and the property itself is very well maintained

Cons:

I am very disappointed with how this situation was handled. On the morning I reported that my necklace had disappeared, I immediately spoke to the reception. Instead of receiving clear information, I was given different and contradictory explanations for several hours. First, I was told that the person responsible for the CCTV system was not available and that the cameras did not cover the area. Later, I was told that the cameras did cover the area but that I was not allowed to view the footage. I spent from around 8:00 a.m. until nearly 11:00 a.m., just before my departure, trying to understand what had happened.

I was then advised to report the matter to the police, who would later review the CCTV with the hotel. I went to the police before leaving. However, after I had already left and contacted the hotel by email, I received yet another explanation saying that the cameras around the massage area, restaurant, and swimming pool had actually been offline due to Wi-Fi maintenance.

The missing item was a solid gold necklace worth approximately $770. More importantly, it had great sentimental value to me. What upset me the most was not only losing such a valuable and meaningful piece of jewelry, but also receiving different explanations throughout the process. The hotel’s Wi-Fi was working during my stay, including in that area, so the final explanation only left me with more questions.

I would have appreciated honesty, transparency, and consistent communication from the beginning. Unfortunately, this experience overshadowed what would otherwise have been a pleasant stay. I sincerely hope the hotel improves the way situations like this are handled in the future so that other guests do not go through the same experience.

Above all expectation! Perfect place to be
Pros:

The staff upon entry (Samantha and D) were just amazing! The music was great and the ambience to die for! The breakfast was so good, rooms exceptionally clean, cocktails very enticing, pool extremely enjoyable. I could see the beach from the pool which made it more beautiful. The dj on Friday made my birthday feel like a dream. The team also organized a beautiful set up for my birthday! If you’re looking for a cool, reserved, modern but still homey and coastal vice, I highly recommend.
The staff deserve the praise. Amazing team doing amazing things!!!
Highly recommend a visit to lala galu

Beautiful beach stay with great vibes
Pros:

A very nice and vibey place with a beautiful beach and pool. The little cabins are comfortable and clean, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious.

The place is also great for kitesurfing, although it is not a dedicated kitesurfing hotel. You can launch kites directly in front of the hotel, and kite schools are only a 2-minute walk away.

I would definitely book again.

Cons:

The only thing I missed in my room was a fridge or minibar. On the bright side, the bar at the sister hotel on the same compound is open 24/7, so you can always buy cold drinks.
