My stay at the resort had its ups and downs. While the stunning turquoise waters and beautiful beach were unforgettable highlights, the overall experience was marred by poor service and a lack of attention to cleanliness. The rooms were decent but could use a refresh, especially considering the rates charged. Dining options were limited and pricey, making it tough to enjoy meals without breaking the bank.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, with highlights including a fantastic dining experience and a truly healing spa treatment. The atmosphere was great, the food was tasty and healthy, and the staff was exceptionally helpful. However, the beach area was not up to my expectations, and some beach chairs were in poor condition. Overall, it provided a unique getaway with beautiful views and a lovely golf course, but a few improvements could enhance the experience.

Our stay at the resort was enjoyable overall. The villas were spacious and comfortable, making our Thanksgiving feel special. The dining options were excellent, but the $75 fee for using the beach and pool was a bit steep, keeping us from fully enjoying all the amenities. While the staff were very friendly and helpful, some maintenance issues in our villa interrupted our relaxation. Despite these hiccups, the experience was beautiful, and we hope to return in the future.
