Golf Lessons Delight

During my stay, I decided to take a golf lesson since I was a complete novice. The golf pro, Jaron, was extremely patient and made the lesson so enjoyable. It's a fantastic way to explore a different part of the resort, and I had such a great time that I wish I had booked a second lesson!

Moonlight Dining Experience

We booked a moonlight dinner at Aqua, right off the ocean, and it was absolutely enchanting. Despite it being slightly chilly, the attentive staff offered me a shawl, which made the evening even more comfortable. The dining experience was simply lovely, and we never had a bad drink or dish during our stay!

Perfect Spa Treatment

I indulged in a treatment at the spa, and it was hands down the best I've experienced in all my travels. The facilities were complimentary, allowing access to hot tubs and steam rooms. I left feeling completely rejuvenated, a true highlight of our trip!

Stunning Suite Views

We had a junior suite with an unobstructed view of the ocean, which was simply amazing. The room was beautifully designed, and I loved the personal touches like the Dyson hairdryer and complimentary local snacks. Every morning, waking up to the sunrise view was a dream come true!

We had a wonderful time at this stunning resort.

Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would definitely return for the beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations.
