    A Memorable Family Celebration

    Our stay was nothing short of spectacular! The room was beautifully spacious, complete with a lovely terrace that became our evening retreat. The resort offers stunning grounds, fantastic dining options, and a private beach that exceeded our expectations. The staff were genuinely welcoming, turning our special occasion into a cherished memory. While the resort is a little pricey for amenities, the whole experience was worth every penny.

    The views from the balcony of our King Room were breathtaking, making me feel like I was living in a postcard. The service was top-notch. the staff had more charm than a quirky sitcom character, always greeting us with smiles and offering assistance. Dining at Bourbon Steak felt like a culinary adventure, with every bite tasting like a celebration of flavor. Our room even came with a cozy fireplace and a S’more kit, which was a sweet surprise that made the evening unforgettable.

    Celebrating my wife's birthday was made unforgettable by the warm and attentive staff who truly made us feel at home. The exquisite room had a beautiful terrace perfect for family moments, and we reveled in the stunning views and impeccably manicured grounds. Dining at Bourbon Steak was a highlight, especially with the memorable shellfish platter and Lobster Mac & Cheese, both exceptional. However, the amenities were quite pricey, and we faced long wait times at times. Despite that, we left with cherished memories and a strong desire to return.

    The property features breathtaking views and excellent service, which significantly enhances the experience. While the dining options are quite pricey, the culinary quality at Bourbon Steak stands out. However, some delays in valet service could be improved. Great for families looking to enjoy a luxurious getaway.

    elegant room
    ocean view
    private beach
    expensive dining

    The rooms feature elegant decor, with a stunning view of the ocean that really sets the mood for relaxation. The beach club access, complete with a private beach lounge, adds a layer of exclusivity that makes lounging by the ocean a dream.

    For a high-end place, there's a bit of sticker shock with the food prices. I expected gourmet quality, but it felt on the pricier side for what you get. The bathroom amenities advertising complimentary items turned out to be somewhat misleading, with charges for items that felt excessive after using them during my stay. Also, the absence of wash cloths in the bathroom was a minor inconvenience that threw off my routine.

    I was enchanted by the beautifully landscaped grounds and the convenient accessibility throughout the resort, which made it easy for me to navigate while enjoying the stunning ocean views from various vantage points.

    More shaded seating areas near the pool would help.

    Our Deluxe King Room with Pool View was stunning! The view was gorgeous, and the decor felt luxurious and cozy. The fireplace was a nice touch—perfect for creating a warm vibe. I loved the comfy bedding. it made for some great sleep. Plus, the spacious balcony overlooking the pool was a nice perk. Just a couple downsides, a bit pricey and the fridge was kind of loud. Not a huge deal, though!
