Delicious Meals

The restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. I especially enjoyed the creative dinner menu, featuring perfectly cooked fish. Room service for breakfast was a decadent highlight, allowing us to enjoy our meal on the private balcony each morning.

Cozy Retreat

The studio I stayed in had a private hot tub on the balcony, which was a perfect addition for relaxing under the stars. The room was tastefully decorated with neutral tones, creating a serene setting that I truly loved.

Unique Layout

I appreciated the thoughtfully designed living area of the villa, which included a spacious layout and amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. The integration of an outdoor hot tub on the deck was good, perfect for soaking after a day of exploring.

Relaxing Experiences

The spa facilities at this resort were really good, particularly the wellness services offered. I indulged in a massage which utilized local ingredients, enhancing the relaxing experience while enjoying the soothing sound of ocean waves nearby.
