This resort is absolutely fantastic, especially after the lockdown, and the staff really went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. The rooms were spacious and the amenities were great, making our stay very comfortable. The location is just perfect, close to the beach and within walking distance to various restaurants. My only minor complaint was the pool water was quite chilly, which kept some guests from fully enjoying it. Overall, this place is the ideal spot for a relaxing getaway.

The hotel has excellent service and a great breakfast, and the private beach is really enjoyable. However, I found the rules about bringing outside food and drink quite restrictive, as well as the prices for in-house dining being very high. The Wi-Fi could also be more reliable, which was a bit frustrating during my stay.
