"The room was amazing as well, with the balcony opening up to the lawn, and views of the lawn, the beach and then the sea - had a wonderful vibe to it."
"There are reefs in the bay, so you can see plenty of fish whilst swimming or you can do free snorkeling or glass bottom boat trips from the hotel, which were great."

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.
