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.

The resort has beautiful grounds but unfortunately falls short in several areas, particularly with room conditions and service. The facilities, while spacious and nice, need serious upgrades. Despite the enjoyable scenery, the shortcomings in housekeeping and inconsistent amenities make it hard to recommend at the current price point.

The resort has a beautiful setting, perfect for families with its great beaches and pools. However, the inconsistent room quality and the lack of enforcement of advertised health guidelines were quite disappointing. For the price, I expected better housekeeping and attention to detail. Overall, it just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

Our stay at the resort was a mix of good and bad experiences. The spaciousness of the villa was a definite plus, along with the beautiful beach location. However, there were cleanliness issues in our room and some disappointing service interactions. Dining options could use improvement regarding selection and quality, and the atmosphere got quite chaotic at times, especially at the pool and beach areas.

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.
