Staying at Blue Orchid Resort had its ups and downs. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, really making us feel at home. The diving experiences were great, with amazing guides who made them memorable. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired in terms of hygiene and amenities for the price point. The restaurant's limited menu didn't showcase the local cuisine well, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a decent experience, but it could definitely improve in a few areas.
