I found the resort's design to be fine. The walkways reflect sunlight beautifully, and the pools are surrounded by chic architecture. The stylish beach club allows guests to relax and enjoy the ocean view.. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the premises. The food was excellent.

I really enjoyed the spacious room. it featured a relaxing balcony ideal for unwinding in the afternoon! also, the staff was helpful. Special thanks to jp at reception.
The dinner buffet offered good ingredients though the soup station served cool soup. I found that disappointing. the pot was on a gas stove! also, the spa receptionist tried to persuade me to take a shorter session which wasn't nice
