We had a pleasant stay overall, enjoying the excellent service and delicious food. The beachfront location was absolutely beautiful, perfect for surfers and beach lovers alike. However, the lack of amenities in the rooms, like coffee service and decent soundproofing, and some service hiccups during dining were disappointing. The prices felt a bit steep for the overall comfort and amenities provided.

Rooms

Our room was spacious, but it lacked a coffee service and a mini bar, and the outdated shower needed better cleaning. The beds were comfortable, but a luggage rack and more furniture would have improved the experience.

Dining was decent but could have been better; the menu was somewhat limited, and dining service lacked efficiency at times. Breakfast was good but similar each day. It's on the pricier side for what’s offered.

The infinity pool was large and beautifully maintained, but we found some furniture around the pool to be worn out and uncomfortable, which was a letdown.

The food was delicious and fresh, making every meal enjoyable. Although the rooms were comfortable, they lacked a few amenities like a safe and Wi-Fi, which could have enhanced my experience. Overall, it felt like a little slice of paradise, and I can't wait to return!

This resort truly offers a fantastic experience with spacious rooms and magnificent views from the infinity pool. The service was exceptional, especially when I had a billing issue, which they resolved quickly.
