4.5/5We wanted deep relaxation and got exactly what we hoped for. We were well looked after.
Liked: Love that the resort is so comfortable and welcoming while being nestled in a lot of beautiful nature. Shade provided by abundant trees not umbrellas. But if you want sun there is lots! Sunset every night directly across the bay.
Watch out: Got a small jellyfish sting in the water. They are only tiny. And our room could use a little update.
-
4/5A beautiful low key getaway with friendly & accommodating staff.
Liked: The meals, staff and location of the main restaurant was great. Open layout with great views of the grounds and water. Very central and close to our room. Our room was very clean and well kept.
Watch out: AIRPORT SHUTTLE- booking needs to be a simpler process. Expect to pay $70-$90 USD (one way) for a taxi or 3rd party hire to get you to and from the airport.
