The view was great and I enjoyed the massage while listening to the sound of the waves. It was very hot that day, but the breeze made it cool. The staff was very kind and the explanations and massage were thorough. To be honest, I thought the price was a little high, but I recommend it if you want to enjoy a quiet atmosphere!

Very good, very comfortable. The location is very good. The technicians are very good. It is different from the usual essential oil massage. Although the acupoint oil massage is a bit painful, the whole body will loosen after the massage.

The transfer situation was okay. We missed the transport there but was able to use it back to hotel. However, the show was great! Costumes, dances and energy was worth going to see! I would recommend. Pictures and videos not allowed during the show.
