I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was stunning with beautiful views, and the staff was always pleasant and helpful. However, the inconvenience of the beach being littered and the pool being non-operational was quite disappointing. I might choose to explore other options on my next visit to the island.

I was really looking forward to a peaceful stay, but it turned out to be a mix of good and bad experiences. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the noise from nearby events and the road was quite disruptive. The service was quite professional, but I encountered some issues during the checkout process. The dining wasn’t impressive either. On the flip side, the views were beautiful and the staff members were friendly and attentive.

My stay at Utopia was absolutely delightful! The resort is tranquil, tucked away in a beautiful setting, with great views of the bay. The cottages provided a luxurious experience where every detail was taken care of. While the hot water in the shower wasn’t perfectly consistent, it didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment, especially after a day of adventure. The service was exceptional, with the owners making you feel like family, which added a personal touch. If you're looking to explore the area, the free shuttle service is a huge plus, taking you to nearby beaches and towns easily.
