10/10 Excellent
"The best in town. The staff is so friendly and helpful. And you also have great surf instructors out front. The water is so warm and clean. The buffet is fabulous and the beach access is the best. It’s truly spectacular to take in the sunset there. No filter filters required.! Having stayed there several times, I always feel really safe at the Diria as well as in town. And I have never been bitten by a mosquito not one time there ! It’s very clean and nice."
