Wow. Wow. Wow! The location of this resort is a 10/10 for sure. What an amazing holiday if you are looking for peace, quiet and relaxation... Seems some of the resort features are still "recovering" from results of covid restrictions on travel, and did not seem the resort was anywhere near capacity, but almost felt more intimate as a result. We were absolutely blown away by their location, beach and the amazing staff.

We absolutely loved the pool and waterfall. It's a beautiful and large pool. Not too crowded. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Only wish there is a bar for the pool area, plastic cups would work. We were kinda bummed we could not check in at least an hr or 2 earlier, we arrived after midnight and tried asking a couple times. It seemed like 1 hour before 3pm would be reasonable.
