The resort is a stunning property with beautifully landscaped grounds and a great view of the ocean. The staff provided exceptional service, making our stay comfortable and memorable. However, the accessibility for seniors and differently-abled guests could use improvement due to uneven pathways and limited buggy availability.

My stay at the resort was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty, and every aspect of the experience was tailored to our needs. The location is breathtaking, but the dining experience was truly a highlight, showcasing a range of delicious local and international dishes.
