I had an almost perfect stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless, the beds felt like sleeping on a well-trained cloud, and the staff managed that rare balance of being both genuinely friendly and impressively competent (no small feat). The front desk sailor uniforms were not needed as they stood out with their exceptional service alone. That said, there’s one tiny thing keeping it from total legend status: the bar situation. Or rather, the lack of a proper one. There’s nowhere to casually sip something delightful while hanging out with your friends. A cozy, lively bar would elevate this place from “fantastic” to “I will never shut up about it.” Still, if your idea of a great stay involves comfort, style, and people who clearly know what they’re doing, this hotel absolutely delivers. Just plan your celebratory nightcap elsewhere.

Such a great value! Loved our room, the resort amenities, and the staff. Room was clean, balcony was fantastic, and we enjoyed taking walks on the property. The kitchen and a trip to the store made the place feel like home and definitely saved money for more excursions in the area. Koa at the front desk was very helpful and professional when checking in. All the little shops were a great time. Would love it if there was a replica of this place everywhere we travel!
