This hotel has a stunning beach location and spacious rooms that offer beautiful views. However, there were significant issues with dining quality and COVID protocol adherence by staff. While there are some wonderful facilities, the overall experience failed to meet the standards expected from a high-end resort.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying its gorgeous property and stunning ocean views from my room. However, the service could use some improvement, particularly on the beach where it felt understaffed at times. The dining options were hit or miss, with one standout restaurant, while others didn’t quite meet expectations. Overall, it's a beautiful place but doesn't completely deliver on the 5-star experience you might hope for at this price point.

The resort is beautifully maintained, with stunning beach access and spacious, comfortable rooms.

I had a lovely time at the hotel for a family celebration. It offered a good variety of restaurants and a quiet beach, which made everything relaxing. The staff were very friendly, and we enjoyed some great excursions. However, I felt that the dining options could be limited, especially during specific holiday events, and the property itself felt a bit small. If you're looking for a family-friendly atmosphere, this place could be ideal.
