Naïa Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Wow - this place is AH-mazing! We simply had the best time at Naia. We stayed in the beach bungalows which were beautiful and spacious rooms - the bathrooms were perfectly laid out. I especially loved the covered patio on the from with a table and chairs so we could sit outside and play cards and have drinks. The property is well taken care of and the staff is always cleaning up the beach and making sure the place looks top notch. The staff is wonderful, remembering our names and favorite drinks - such nice people. We also did a couple's spa day which was the ultimate treat - what an unforgettable experience. Naia is a special place and we plan on returning again. Thank you to the incredible staff for making our trip and Naia perfect!"
