I had a mixed experience at Matava Resort. The location is stunning and the staff was incredibly friendly, creating a sense of community. However, the snorkeling didn't meet my expectations based on the advertised 'Snorkel Fest Package', which was a letdown for my holiday plans.

I had an amazing experience at Matava Resort! The stunning location with lush grounds and a natural spring-fed pool was a refreshing haven. While the service was a bit disorganized since they had just reopened, the overall atmosphere and beautiful views made up for it. I can't wait to go back next year!
