What an absolutely amazing place. The staff cannot do enough for you and the place is beautiful. My only gripe would be that you have to pay for water with lunch and dinner. I can understand charging for soda or alcohol but I think water should be included. Apart from that first class

"The room was clean, just a funny smell in the bathroom sometimes. Breakfast could be better with more options and needed flavor. The Spa was amazing, if I had more time I would have done another massage. The staff particularly Catrina,Maharram,Chris, the bar staff by the pool,the people that opened ..."
