Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The room we stayed in was spacious and offered beautiful views, but it did have a few maintenance issues that needed attention. The location was fantastic, with easy beach access, making for lovely sunset views each evening. However, the dining options were quite disappointing and overpriced, which impacts the overall value for money.

I had a beautiful time at the resort with my family in a rental home that was stunning. However, for the steep price of over $1300 a night, I expected better Wi-Fi and service, which fell short of my expectations. While the beach was incredible and there was ample space to feel comfortable, some frustrating interactions and inconveniences made me reconsider a repeat visit.
