My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! Sharon and Grant catered to our every need plus more and made it such a special and memorable time! Also their staff were so kind and sweet! The meals were very delicious! We loved the fresh fruit and trying new food! Absolutely divine location, very peaceful and secluded. Can not say enough good things about this incredible place and highly recommend! Looking forward to coming back to visit sometime soon! :)
