10/10 Excellent
"The swimup bar was great, and the pool was wonderful (saltwater, no chlorine). The resort is gorgeous, and everyone is so helpful. I went for my birthday, so the birthday dessert (lemon ricotta cake with berries) was decadent. The spa was a fantastic experience ( you don't need to stay at the resort to use the spa). Well worth the indulgence."
