I had an amazing experience at the resort! The service was top-notch, and I loved how relaxing everything felt, with the beach and infinity pool just steps away. The on-site restaurant offered delicious meals, but I noticed that the service could be a bit slow during busy times. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature while still having access to great amenities.

The hotel is located in a prime spot right by the beach, which is a definite plus. The pool area offers a fantastic view of the ocean. Overall, the rooms are clean and spacious for a family of four, but they lack some basic amenities like luggage racks and comfortable seating. Our dining experience was mixed, with limited menu options and high prices, which made it less appealing. Despite the friendly and helpful staff, the overall amenities didn't quite justify the price.

I had an amazing experience at this resort! The atmosphere was so relaxing and the ocean was practically right at my doorstep for surfing and beach volleyball. The immense infinity pool was a highlight, and the restaurant offered delicious food with exceptional service. On the downside, there were a few hiccups with the dining experience regarding availability of menu items and some breakfast options. Overall, I can't wait to return!
