Delicious Culinary Delights

The food at Aya Beach Resort was a major highlight of our stay. The on-site restaurant offered a range of dishes that beautifully blended local flavors with international cuisine. We especially enjoyed the fresh seafood, cooked to perfection, and the presentation of each meal was impressive. The ambiance while dining with a view of the ocean made every meal a nice experience.

Heavenly Spa Experience

The spa services at Aya Beach Resort were simply fantastic. Set in a tranquil jungle environment, every massage felt divine. I had a rejuvenating full-body massage that took me to another realm of relaxation. It was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. I can’t recommend it enough for those looking to pamper themselves.

Luxurious Accommodations

We stayed in a deluxe beachfront bungalow, and it was a true oasis of comfort. The room was beautifully designed with local decor and very clean. I loved the private terrace overlooking the stunning sea views. The turn-down service in the evenings was a charming touch, making our stay feel extra special.

Active Adventure Awaits

Aya Beach Resort offered a range of activities that kept us engaged throughout our stay. We enjoyed snorkeling right off the beach, discovering vibrant marine life. The guided hiking tour allowed us to see hidden gems on the island, making it an exciting way to explore nature. For fitness enthusiasts, the outdoor gym was a fantastic addition, providing a unique workout experience surrounded by beautiful views.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the stunning ocean view and the delicious food offered. The rooms were clean, but I found mine a bit too close to a pressure pump, which made for some noise at times. The service was attentive and caring, but the property itself felt like it needed some updates to truly shine. Overall, it was a delightful place to relax, but some improvements could elevate the experience.

During my stay, I enjoyed breathtaking views as the hotel is perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. While the rooms were clean and presentable, they felt a bit small for the price I paid, which was quite high at 200 USD for four people. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being extremely welcoming while others seemed selective in their friendliness. Overall, the experience was a mix of highs and lows, but the stunning location was definitely a highlight.

I had a decent stay overall. The location directly on the beach was idyllic and perfect for some relaxation. The rooms, while clean and presentable, felt a bit small for a family accommodation. The service was absolutely fantastic, always welcoming and accommodating, but the dining experience left something to be desired, especially for breakfast options. While the price was reasonable, considering the amenities provided, it might have been a bit lacking.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable and restorative. The rooms offered a nice view, especially from my sea view room, and I found them clean and comfortable. While the staff was nice and tried hard to accommodate us, their approach to customer service felt a bit lacking at times. The location is perfect for those seeking tranquility, nestled in a small village by the sea, although it might not be ideal for someone looking for more activities. Overall, it's a lovely place if you're after a peaceful getaway, but be aware that the breakfast could use some more variety.

I had a lovely stay at this resort spa. The rooms were spacious and offered a nice view of the gardens that added to the relaxing atmosphere. I found the service to be friendly, although it lacked a bit in attentiveness. The location was perfect for a beach getaway, right next to the beach, but the dining options could use more variety. A couple of amenities also felt dated. Overall, it was good value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.
