My experience at Dune Eco Resort was truly memorable. The spacious and unique villa allowed me to feel completely immersed in nature, especially with a beach right at my doorstep. The staff, particularly Mr. Umapathi, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Although the breakfast left a little to be desired, the overall stay was worth it.

My stay at the resort was quite disappointing despite the promising branding and location. The issues began right with the check-in process, where our room allocation was delayed. The amenities were not properly maintained, making it challenging to fully relax and enjoy the experience, especially since the snorkeling in the area remains unforgettable. If you're searching for a relaxed getaway, be cautious before booking here.

I recently stayed at Dune Eco Resort and it was truly a mixed experience. The private pool in my artist studio offered a luxurious retreat, and the staff were incredible, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. However, the room had a few unsettling issues, and I felt the dining options were quite pricey for what was available. Overall, it was a charming getaway, but there were definitely areas that could use improvement.
