An amazing location, super relaxing and just beautiful all around. We stayed at one of the Elite bungalows and we couldn’t have picked a better vacation spot. The room, the view, the food, drinks, and the staff were all exceptional! We’ll definitely visit again!

The meals were exceptional at Palafitos with their 5 star resturant. We were pampered the whole stay. One exception is be on the lookout for the massage prices at the Spa. Massages are way over priced yo the point of being market ridiculous. However the gym and hydrotherapy areas are excellent.
