We spent 4 nights at Lagun Blou. There's good and not so good to say about the resort. First of all we arrived in the afternoon of what we thought was the hottest day we ever experienced, to find a cottage with no air conditioning on the ground floor, only in the bedroom upstairs. Sure, you can open 2 doors downstairs or use the provided fan, but all you get is hot/humid wind blowing through the living room/ kitchen, with no meaningful change in temperature. There's no TV, the house needs a lot of improvements (safe doesn't work, doors are either flimsy or hard to open, bathrooms are just ok). Having said this, the place itself is absolutely beautiful. The cottages are steps away from the cliff and from stone-rimmed little terraces, from which you can enjoy amazing sunsets. To swim you can walk down the steps and jump into clear and inviting waters that are brimming with fish - a snorkeler's paradise -or walk to the adjacent small beach. Lots of gorgeous larger beaches can be found in the vicinity of the resort as well. The grounds are also beautiful, with lush and well kept vegetation in the middle of which there's a bar/restaurant area. It's quiet and perfect for someone who's looking for peace and relaxation. If you're the big-resort type this is not for you. While breakfast is always available, the restaurant is not always open, depending on the availability of the chef. Thanks to Nasha, our very helpful and courteous front desk assistant, one night we were lucky enough to catch chef Brian and his sommelier, who gave the two of us the most unique personal-chef dinner experience. All in all we think that with some necessary improvements and a little more attention to detail (a bottle or two of cold water in the fridge or some coffee by the coffee machine on arrival would go a long way) this place could become a little gem.
