We loved this resort! We had a Junior Suite garden view and it was beautifully decorated and situated. Spacious and very comfy beds. The reception team were wonderful, especially Andrea for giving us the welcome tour. The resort is beautiful, gardens well maintained, lovely spa and a spacious gym. Pools were lovely as well. Unfortunately one waiter was a bit grumpy on the first night, but everything else was perfect. Highly recommend!!

Property was large so it was hard to access and see the ocean. Indoor pool/spa was only accessible to those who paid for a treatment. All classes were extra money. Resort is isolated so dining limited to hotel. Had to uber long distances to get to attractions in the area/cliffs/hikes. Wasps everywhere on property so hard to relax and enjoy pool, breakfast outside or beach. For price point wish we had selected elsewhere.

We had a fantastic stay for our baby moon! -Room was very large and clean. Beautiful balcony. We didn’t use the tub, but it was pretty and there was a large shower with his and her shower heads. Lots of squishy or firm pillows. -Stunning views and gardens wherever you look! -Breakfast was amazing! It ends at 10:30am, but if you come near the closing time, they have absolutely everything still there. -we ate at the Coral restaurant which was fantastic and upscale. We also went twice to the Italian restaurant and could have gone every night - both were incredible! -the beach is gorgeous and there are kayaks and paddle boards for rental down at the beach. Beautiful chair and umbrella set up! Other reviews state that there are not enough chairs, however, if you don’t see one open, just ask the beach attendant and he will get an umbrella and a chair for you, so this is not an issue. -All of the staff at reception, the spa, the beach, and all the restaurants were amazing and very friendly, always in a great mood and making us feel welcome. A special thank you to Sandea for being so welcoming and kind. -I had a maternity massage at the spa and had Maria. It was amazing and I would highly recommend it!

To be improved

Super schöner und gepflegter Garten. Tolle Aussicht aufs Meer. Flächenmässig grosse Anlage. Durchwachsener Service auf dem Zimmer, im Valet Parking und im Restaurant. 5 Sterne Preise, aber leider kein 5 Sterne Service. Restaurant und Bar ebenfalls 5 Sterne Preise , jedoch nicht diese Qualität. Nach selbiger Google Bewertung halbherzige Nachfrage warum. Jedoch keine Geste. Kein Willkommensdrink , ausser Wasser, oder Abschiedsgeschenk. Sehr schade bei diesem tollen, frisch renoviertem Anwesen

This is an outstanding hotel, with great customer service. For example, I said I liked the tea at breakfast - and I then had (without asking) a gift of tea sent to my room by hotel management. Absolutely outstanding! The one minor development is I was there with my 14 year old son. He wasn’t allowed anywhere near the indoor pool. This policy needs a rethink.
