Our family trip to the resort was unforgettable! The location is absolutely stunning with pristine beaches and activities that everyone enjoyed. The beachfront villas were spacious and offered incredible views, although some may find the Wi-Fi connectivity a bit lacking. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the dining options were varied and delicious for every palate. Overall, it was fantastic value for money, but a few activities came with added costs.

While the resort has a stunning beach and scenic setting, I left feeling like I didn't get great value for my money. The rooms are nice, but the service was hit or miss, and the dining options need improvement. Some staff were lovely, but others left much to be desired, and there were issues with cleanliness around the beach area. It was a mixed experience, with beautiful views but considerable disappointments as well.

The Octopus Beach Resort is a beautiful escape, offering a mix of luxury and a tropical atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though the pool maintenance could use improvement. The food generally exceeded my expectations, though drinks felt overpriced. While the location was stunning with fantastic snorkeling, the service was a bit hit or miss, which was unexpected for such a sought-after destination.
