      infinity pool
      worn room

      Surprise with a side of salt

      The infinity pool offered stunning views, making every swim feel like a retreat. Breakfast each morning was a delight with fresh pastries and delightful staff who remembered our names.

      However, the room showed signs of wear, and the air conditioning struggled to keep up during the hotter afternoons. The dining options felt overpriced for the quality served, especially in the buffet.

      exceptional breakfast
      rude service
      slippery carpets

      Exceptional breakfast varieties and quality.

      The hotel staff had a shocking lack of professionalism. One waiter argued with us about moldy fruit in our drink instead of owning up to the mistake, which was infuriating. Additionally, the carpets were not just worn but dangerously slippery, causing both me and my husband to slip several times.

      Stunning Ocean Views and Exceptional Dining

      I truly enjoyed my stay, particularly the breathtaking ocean views from my superior room's balcony that made every morning a delight. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, offering a wide selection including freshly baked pastries and local delicacies. I also had a fantastic dining experience at the Michelin-starred restaurant, which exceeded my expectations with innovative dishes. One aspect that could be improved is the availability of outdoor seating during peak dining times.
