Our stay at the resort was a true dream come true, offering incredible views and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a special getaway. The spacious and well-appointed overwater villas provided a touch of luxury, but dining could use some improvements in variety and pricing. While the service was attentive and welcoming, some small hiccups occurred during our stay. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but the high prices left us feeling a bit nickeled and dimed.

Our stay at the resort was nothing short of amazing! The overwater bungalow we had provided incredible views and the chance to swim right from our deck. Although the food options at the pool were somewhat limited and the service could be slow at times, the overall experience was filled with relaxation and breathtaking scenery. We especially enjoyed the sunrise with stingrays and the beauty of the island. Just keep in mind that it's a secluded location with not much nightlife outside the resort.
