My stay at Marine Holiday House had its ups and downs. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, offering refreshing tropical juices upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. However, I encountered some hiccups, including a booking mix-up that meant I didn't get into my initially promised villa. The pool area was great for relaxing, but there were a few noise issues from the pool bar that disturbed my tranquility. Overall, it was a mixed experience but certainly had its highlights. 😊
