My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The location is absolutely stunning, right by the beach, and I loved the ocean view from my room. The staff were wonderful and the services were mostly good, but the dining options left a lot to be desired. I encountered cleanliness issues with bugs in my room and it made the stay a bit uncomfortable, which was disappointing for a place that markets itself as a luxury resort.
