I had a fantastic stay at this resort! The oceanfront room was clean and comfortable, with breathtaking views that made every moment special. The staff truly went above and beyond, making our honeymoon unforgettable with thoughtful gestures like room upgrades and complimentary champagne. The location was perfect, with easy access to shops and restaurants. However, I found the dining options a bit pricey and could use more variety for healthier choices.
