The resort is a stunning property, beautifully private, and the villas are absolutely luxurious. However, the dining options are quite limited and the service can be inconsistent, especially during peak times, which can detract from the overall experience. While the entertainment options and food quality may leave something to be desired, the beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere make it a memorable getaway.
