The hotel was absolutely amazing. The room we had was exceptionally clean and the housekeepers refreshed our room every morning. Our balcony had the most beautiful view looking out into the ocean/sea. The beds were super comfy and the design of the rooms was beautiful! We had breakfast included and there was a large selection to choose from and it was delicious. The pool was always clean and it was always relaxing to be around the pool aswell. Although we didn't visit the gym or indoor spa we have no doubt it was also exceptional. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Nice property, clean and spacious. Biggest complaint here is the A/C and climate. Typical for a tropical place but the sheets and bedding are always damp. A/C blows cold but does not dehumidify. Sleeping is an absolute nightmare. Bring a portable dehumidifier or something that will take the moisture out of the air. We tried everything, windows open, then closed even used the blow dryer to try and dry the sheets and pillow cases and nothing worked. Been to Florida which is just as humid and never had this problem.

Overall, I had an enjoyable trip, but the rooms did not match the advertised size and luxury—they were extremely small. The bathrooms were also very confined, making them uncomfortable to use. I would recommend offering all-inclusive options and adding more amenities to enhance the experience. Extremely overpriced parking options and everything was extremely far and limited options to walk over to.
