I had a great vacation experience at this resort, which is perfectly situated next to Mambo beach, making it ideal for beach lovers. The dive shop on site is excellent, and the staff is very efficient and helpful. However, the room comfort could be improved, and managing beach lounge access can be a hassle due to towel saving. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with great amenities, but it has a few areas that could use some attention.

My stay at Lion's Dive was truly wonderful! The beach and water access are incredible, making it perfect for families, especially for snorkeling.
