This resort is a stunning getaway with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is fantastic and goes above and beyond to make your stay special, especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. While the food is delicious and the beach is inviting, I felt that the internet connection in the rooms could be improved. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the Caribbean vibes.
