Maitai Resort is a clean and comfortable spot located conveniently close to the beach, where I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and offered a lovely view from the balcony, although the bathroom lacked privacy due to the design. The staff was friendly and helpful, which added to my pleasant experience. However, the Wi-Fi connection was disappointing, and the airport pickup cost felt a bit steep. Overall, it's a great value for a resort-like experience without breaking the bank.
