My partner and I had an amazing time! We loved walking around the property and exploring the trails. You just can’t beat having a private beach and your own private little sanctuary amongst the trees. Truly spectacular. The staff were extremely kind and attentive. We had Ray as our waiter both times we dined at the restaurant for dinner and he was great. While the menu is limited, everything was delicious. I will say that if you are looking for a pristine resort with immediate pool side service, this may not be the place for you. It is a long walk from the beach to get a cold beer! But if you like the silence of nature and people that appreciate it…then this place certainly is worth a visit.
