The breakfast was great. Only thing is I wish they would switch up a bit and not have the same breakfast options every day.

    Hotel was lovely with delicious food and a really nice area to lie out in the sun. The owners could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend Visiwa Beach Resort.
