Our stay at the resort was truly wonderful! The beach area was stunning with clear blue waters, and the staff were genuinely friendly and eager to help out. The rooms, especially the family lagoon view villa, were spacious and comfortably modern. However, the massage service didn't meet expectations and was quite pricey.

Our stay at Saletoga was simply wonderful! We loved the spacious family villa with a beautiful beach right at our doorstep. The snorkeling and the pool were highlights for us, and the staff made our family feel incredibly welcome. While the dining was mostly westernized, we did enjoy the Fia Fia night. However, we encountered some gastro issues toward the end of our stay, which was unfortunate.
