Excellent hotel and room. My only gripe was toilet paper and tissues were not replenished during my stay and you shouldn’t have to feel like you are rationing when you pay over $300 a night. Rooms could also use a bin.

The staff were really attentive and lovely. The renovations to the rooms are really tasteful and nice. Comfy beds, good set up etc. and yes the lagoon pool in particular was everything I was dreaming of. It would be nice if the swim up bar in the pool stayed open a little later and we were hoping for a microwave in our room, but there really is nothing you can fault with the stay here. It's beautiful.
