I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the restaurant had room for improvement in cleanliness, the location was stunning with a beautiful beach. The service was hit or miss; some staff were helpful, while others seemed overwhelmed. The spacious rooms offered a lovely view, which made up for the dining experience that could use more variety. Overall, it's a decent place, but not without its flaws.

Our experience at Amethyst Resort was absolutely memorable, thanks to the stunning beachfront location and the outstanding service. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had amazing meals and an unforgettable anniversary celebration. However, there was a limited dining variety for vegetarians, which was a slight drawback. Overall, it was a luxurious and relaxing stay that we would highly recommend.
