From Reddit
Sentiment: Split

Reddit was searched; property-specific signal is thin, so official, OTA and TripAdvisor sources carry the consensus.

What it costs

The rate, and where to check it

Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.

Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.

The catch
Two monsoons: the coasts peak in opposite seasons
South coast season
December–March: dry, calm, the classic window
East coast season
May–September: when the south is wet, the east is perfect
