Construction Disruption
Some guests had the unfortunate timing to stay at the resort while there was construction nearby and their reviews complained about the noise from the construction, commenting that it negatively impacted their peace and quiet during their time on the island.

Insects Everywhere
A number of previous travellers left reviews warning future guests that the bathrooms are in the open air and connected to the main room via flimsy doors, meaning that insects get into the room and there is a general lack of privacy whilst showering.
