My stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean. The beach is stunning and quiet, making it a perfect escape. The food at the restaurant was fresh and delicious, particularly the a la carte options. However, I did notice a few beach boys around, and the lack of mosquito nets in the room was a bit concerning for me. Overall, a fantastic retreat I would love to revisit.

Kobe Suite Resort is a gem tucked away on a stunning beach, with incredibly spacious and clean rooms that provide a relaxing atmosphere. The staff, particularly Federico, Viola, and Daniela, truly go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the presence of external groups for sunbed reservations can be frustrating, and a more eclectic menu could enhance the dining experience. Overall, it’s a tranquil escape, despite some room for improvement in managing guest amenities and dining options.
