“What stands out is the access to a private beach club, far from the hotel, but worth the trip; it redefines a relaxed experience. Dining shines, especially the seafood, though I'd suggest confirming noise levels in rooms overlooking the marina, that could be a drawback. The spa, however, is flawless, and makes this place memorable.”
