    The location is nice and spectacular as it's very close to the most beautiful beach in the world as well as the taxi/move out of the studio/hangers/bust hose.

    The staff at Lily Palm Resort went above and beyond to assist me when I arrived with my pram. They kindly helped me carry it up the stairs, making my stay much easier and convenient. The resort itself is beautiful, with clean beaches and swimming pools. The breakfast and dinner were enjoyable, and the local area offered delicious food and a nearby supermarket. The service overall was exceptional, and I would love to stay at Lily Palm Resort again.

    We had an amazing time staying at this resort. The location was perfect with breathtaking views from the stairs. We enjoyed the spacious room with a clean, modern bathroom and a balcony overlooking the lush green gardens. The staff provided excellent service, and the inclusive breakfast had a great variety of delicious food. We also appreciated the convenient leisure facilities such as the pool and the gym.

    We faced some difficulties with the Wi-Fi connection, which was not available in our room.

    The value for money at Lily Palm Resort was excellent. The rooms were comfortable with AC, and the main swimming pool overlooking the sea was fantastic. The staff treated us with friendliness and always went out of their way to help us, creating a welcoming and family-like atmosphere. The location was perfect, with close proximity to activities, eateries, and sundowner joints.

    The only thing I wish could have been better for breakfast was the variety of options.
