    Comfortable place to explore around! Shoutout to your manager 👋 I stayed in a junior suite that had everything I needed - from satellite TV to climate control and even a comfy couch bed.

    Beautiful decor, amazing ambiance, and a private beach steal the show at this resort. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special by being co-operative, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed the clean facilities, the fully air-conditioned rooms, and the good job done by the chef in the kitchen.

    While the resort was great, we faced some issues that made our stay less comfortable. The long, rough road leading up to the resort made it difficult for us to be mobile during our stay.

    Located on the outskirts of town, the hotel is perfect for those looking for a secluded beach experience. if you're looking for better swimming water, you'll need to go to another beach. the hotel provides well-kept rooms and clean bathrooms, with an ocean view for some. the friendly service and decent breakfast add to the overall experience.

    Despite the decent service, some areas of the hotel lacked maintenance.

    The rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the simple but tasty breakfast offered every morning. the beach was absolutely beautiful and secluded, perfect for those looking for a peaceful escape.

    The location made it difficult to explore the area as it was quite far from other attractions. the rough and dusty roads made transportation by motorcycle or tuk-tuk quite difficult.

    We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at Life Resort. The beach was absolutely stunning and secluded, providing the perfect spot for relaxation. The room was spacious and the terrace was a lovely place to unwind in the evenings. The fusion food served at the restaurant was delicious and the staff were professional and kind. Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as the location being a bit far from town and the breakfast being basic, overall I would highly recommend this hotel.

    The service was impeccable and luxurious needs were fulfilled with exclusive amenities. the private facilities were outstanding, including a spa and a gym. the atmosphere at the restaurant was very pleasant and the food was delectable. We also enjoyed the bar/lounge area which had a diverse selection of drinks. the rooms were very spacious and accommodating.

    The only minor issue we encountered was the location disadvantage. It's a bit far from the city center and could be hard to find for first-time visitors.
