I had an amazing stay at the resort, especially in the premium King beach access room just steps from the beach. The bed was incredibly comfy, and the bathroom was beautiful. While the restaurant service was a bit slow at times, it didn't take away from the stunning location and overall experience. I just wish there were a few more dining options available to enhance my stay.

I had a decent experience at this resort spa, particularly enjoying the premium King beach access room that was just a few steps from the beach. While it was equipped with modern decor, I did notice some cleanliness issues that could've been better addressed. The location was fantastic, offering fantastic views, but the service left me a bit frustrated after they broke my suitcase and didn't manage to resolve the flight refund situation quickly. Overall, it was a mixed bag.

My stay at the resort spa was generally enjoyable, with some fantastic features and a few hiccups. The rooms were stylish and spotlessly clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of activities. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who really enhanced the experience.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, especially with the spectacular premium King beach access room just steps from the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was clean and modern. However, I did encounter a couple of hiccups, such as an already opened water bottle and a phone that wasn't working.
