I had an amazing time at this hotel! The rooms were tasteful and very comfortable, offering the most fantastic view of the stunning ocean. However, they were a bit on the smaller side. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful and welcoming staff who were always mindful of our needs. The location couldn't have been better for relaxation, with a clean sea in Caribbean colors and corals right at our doorstep. The dining experience, although good, could have had more variety to choose from. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
