wonderful experience

The team helped tailor every detail exactly as i wanted. a customized cocktail menu was arranged. a king coconut welcome drink was provided. the catering was superb. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed it.
check-in took an unreasonably long time, though the staff was friendly. we had to wait too long to get to our rooms, even arriving after 3 pm. the selection of drinks at the pool bar felt limited to me.
