Lovely Dining Experience

“Dining at the on-site restaurant truly elevated our stay. The pier restaurant, with its amazing ocean views, was a highlight. Each meal was delicious, and the unique atmosphere made it all the more special. Although some drinks were a bit pricey, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it worth every penny.” view full review

Fun Water Sports

“The resort offers fantastic water sports options, including paddleboarding and snorkeling at the nearby reef. Despite the tide affecting swimming in the sea, the spacious swimming pool was a great alternative for relaxation and leisure activities.

I had a lovely time staying at this resort. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms truly stood out, and the staff were genuinely kind and attentive to our needs. Although the location is quite remote and lacks some amenities, the beach's tranquility was perfect for relaxation. However, I found the dining experience somewhat limited, and internet access was a hassle since it was only available in public areas.

Staying at Pongwe Bay Resort was truly a delightful experience! The grounds are spacious, allowing for social distancing, and the beachfront location is absolutely stunning. Our room was comfortable and cozy, which made our stay even more special. The staff went above and beyond, making sure our every need was met, and we felt right at home. However, I did find that the Wi-Fi was only available in common areas, which was a bit inconvenient at times. Overall, it was a fantastic value for the price, and I can’t wait to visit again!

I had an incredible stay at this resort that is perfect for relaxation. The staff really made my experience special, especially the cleaners who left flowers on my bed every day. The food was delightful and good value, although the Saturday beach party made it a bit noisy. Overall, I loved the warm sea and beautiful surroundings, but the long drive from the airport adds a cost that you need to keep in mind.

My stay at the hotel offered some lovely moments, especially with its clean and spacious rooms and friendly staff. However, encountering issues with dining choices and inconsistent service was disappointing. While the beach location was nice, the maintenance of the beach itself could use improvement. Overall, it’s a charming place to unwind, but there’s room for enhancement in some areas.
