I spent my anniversary for the first time there. I was extended an Impressive welcome. It started from the very gate with the security, to Donavan, who handled my luggage. The warm smiles of the checking staff, then to the room with the extra large bed. And the ambiance that totally relaxed not just my body, but my entire mental framework. Then I started to test all the room amenities that I was told to be available to me. The room was cool, A/C clicking. T.V., internet, fridge stocked, comfortable furniture, bathroom amenities, along with hot water and well stocked towels, was a remarkable impression. A safe to secure valuables and not to mention my balcony with its views. I will leave around the complex for now, which was even more impacting. Read less

Mind blowingly good time. Small resort that tries harder and that means so much. Chose this place for our honeymoon and was not disappointed. Photo is from Bartender Janice’s challenge called “the ladder” cowards need not apply. Every rung was a 10 and totally worth.
