“The resort's proximity to Jan Thiel Beach is a genuine asset, placing guests steps away from its restaurants and vibrant atmosphere. Villas provide ample space, especially appealing to families or groups seeking room to spread out, but some may find the housekeeping schedule less frequent than ideal. I appreciate the comprehensive diving facilities, making it easy for both novices and experienced divers to explore the underwater world.”
