The Grand Tala Bay Resort has beautiful grounds and spacious rooms with stunning sea views. The staff, especially the animation team, were incredibly kind and made our stay enjoyable. However, the service from the front desk was often lacking, and the dining options in the main restaurant did not meet expectations for a hotel of this caliber. Overall, it has potential but definitely needs some improvements.
