Our stay at the resort was truly delightful, marked by the warmth of the owner and the comfort of our spacious apartment. The location was perfect for easy access to local attractions, but it was a bit noisy during the day due to nearby hot springs.

I had a wonderful stay at Oceans Resort, where the beautiful beach was just a short walk away, and I enjoyed the spacious, modern units equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing trip.

While my overall experience was excellent, I did have a bit of a hassle with the Wi-Fi connection that varied from unit to unit.
