I had a wonderful experience at the Aurora Bay Resort! It's like a blooming oasis, with spacious and clean rooms, and an absolutely stunning beach with coral reefs for snorkeling. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, which made my stay feel special. However, there were instances where I felt a bit pressured by the sales staff offering trips, which detracted from my relaxation.

I had a fantastic stay at Aurora Bay Resort! The location was great, just a short walk from a beautiful beach and great snorkeling opportunities. The rooms were clean and spacious, but they could use a bit of modernization. The dining options were diverse and tasty, offering plenty of choices at every meal. However, I noticed that the all-inclusive package can get repetitive after a few days. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I'd definitely consider returning.

I had an absolutely amazing stay at this resort! The hotel is a true gem, offering stunning views and vibrant surroundings. My room was spacious and impeccably clean, and the comfortable bed ensured I had a great night's sleep every night.

Our stay at the resort was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is stunning for snorkeling, and the beach bar has some enjoyable snacks. However, the persistent sales pitches and noisy animation team made it hard to relax. The rooms were spacious and kept clean, but I felt the service could be improved in some areas, especially during peak times. It's a good value for money overall, especially if you dive or snorkel.
