Awesome Surf Lessons

I had never surfed before, but thanks to Juanpa's expert guidance, I was standing up on the board by the end of my first lesson! The surf instruction at Moana is unbeatable, and I can't wait to come back and ride more waves. They really cater to different skill levels.

Delicious Breakfasts

Every morning at Moana was a treat with a breakfast spread that was simply mouthwatering. From fresh fruits to hearty options, there was something for everyone. I especially loved drinking fresh coconuts while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Cozy Accommodations

My room was not only spacious and clean, but it also featured beautiful decor with custom wood furniture and local toiletries. The attention to detail made my stay incredibly comfortable and welcoming. I loved the large windows that let in plenty of sunlight.

I had a lovely stay at the resort spa. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities made it a cozy retreat. I really appreciated the great ocean view from my room. The dining was decent, but I wish there had been more variety in food options. The pool area was relaxing, although I found some furniture could use updating. Overall, it felt like good value for the price, though a few details could be improved.

My time at the resort was quite relaxing, with clean and spacious accommodations that made me feel right at home. The staff was genuinely welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. The on-site restaurant offered varied dining options, but the breakfast could have included a little more variety. The pool area was a fantastic spot to unwind, although I wish the Wi-Fi was complimentary instead of an added cost.

This resort spa offered a fantastic getaway with clean and spacious rooms that felt quite luxurious. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and local restaurants, but the dining experience left something to be desired due to limited breakfast options. The spa facilities were truly a highlight, but service could be improved in some areas, which is something to consider when planning your stay.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at this resort spa. The atmosphere was serene and the amenities were quite impressive, especially the spa services. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a great level of comfort. However, the dining options could use some improvement in variety, and I found a couple of the facilities could have been better maintained. Overall, a good experience with just a few areas for enhancement.
