Kandaya Resort offers a wonderful retreat with top-notch amenities and a beautifully serene beach. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, although it would be nice to have bathtubs available. The service is attentive, particularly in the restaurant, yet there were moments of inconsistency that could be improved. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice if you're seeking a tranquil getaway, though navigating the dining experience could be a bit frustrating at times.

The Deluxe room was spacious and had a super comfortable King Size bed. I appreciated the Nespresso machine, which added a nice touch to the stay. However, a bathtub would have made it perfect.

I had a lovely experience at Kandaya Resort. The property is stunning and really feels like a hidden gem, especially with its beautiful villas and serene environment. However, I found the food options a bit overpriced and not up to par with what I expected for a resort of this caliber. The service could also use some fine-tuning with staff training, but overall, I enjoyed my stay and would love to return for the peaceful atmosphere.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The staff was incredibly nice and the resort's ambiance was beautiful, but there were significant issues with maintenance and the lack of dining options. The beach front was stunning to look at, but not suitable for swimming, which was disappointing. While I appreciated the spacious villa and private pool, the overall dining experience did not meet expectations given the price.
