Spectacular place. We will definitely go again. We had a couple of issues with our room but nothing earth shattering. Food and drinks a bit pricey. Staff very eager to please and professional. Overall great place and facilities. Terrific views.

Our stay
Resort with amazing views and excellent staff. The only downside was the noise of the boats probably fishing every morning nearby and the bugs that maybe are to expected if you sleep sorrounded by nature.

Beautiful location, but understaffed. Covid?
The location is pretty amazing with a view of the ocean. The rooms are all huge too! unfortunately, the pool villa we got had questionable water. The pool water was yellow. Only one that I could see (I checked the other pools). We were there for a short stay and didn't want to risk swimming in it. Only got moved to a different room for our last night. Also, it seems like they're pretty understaffed, and most likely due to Covid, so service for anything was a bit slow.
