The staff at Pullman are so courteous and hospitable. Very easy to reach them through the app. We tried the food at all of their restaurants and it was all amazing with beautiful presentation and attentive and kind staff. We liked coming during the off season so it was not crowded. Would definitely recommend!

Rahul and Barbara did an amazing job. The massage was relaxing and they were so kind. I would highly recommend anyone to come to the spa and enjoy their wonderful service. The full body massage was great and my wife and I left feeling relaxed and at peace. Thank you!

The resort in general is a 10/10 This is not a criticism, but a pointer to be addressed. The open shower area floods the floor when it's windy and rainy. So some remedial measures could be put in place to avoid any possible mishaps. This in any way spoils the holiday or the beauty of the place.

Wonderful resort! The staff was so helpful and friendly. Zin was our server at breakfast and at dinner one evening. She was so helpful and kind. We had one bad experience with the dive center and one of the staff who led the beginners snorkeling trip, but otherwise everyone was amazing! I won’t hold his unprofessional behavior against the entire place. Everyone else definitely made up for it! I would just clarify who is taking you out on the snorkeling adventures if you are a beginner and ask how they usually teach their classes. We had one great experience with turtle snorkeling. The guide was so helpful and patient. Then we did the beginners snorkeling to get more comfortable and no instructions or advice were given. The snorkeling was amazing but the guide took off on his own to take photos of himself and the reef marine life. Read less
