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. The views from our room were breathtaking, and the service was mostly excellent, although we did experience some inconsistencies with the poolside service. The dining options were quite good, especially at Agua, but the butler service left a lot to be desired this time around. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would definitely return for the beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations.
