First and foremost I would like to thank Lucy and her team for an excellent stay! We faced some challenges, however Lucy went out of her way to ensure all was up to par and truly made it seamless! The resort was absolutely stunning! The staff made it feel like home and Lucu was the cherry on top! Due to her, our trip was incredible and I cannot thank her and the team enough! Highly recommend the place!

All services were excellent except that I got checked into a garden facing room with a pungent damp smell but the staff relocated me to a fresh clean room upon complaining. So I’d say it was good overall
