Stayed in a King Ocean view room - the view was gorgeous, the room was clean and cleaned every day, the pool and hot tub were great. We ate at all of the restaurants and didn't have a bad meal (one was kinda slow but Island Time is a real thing). All of the staff were very friendly and outgoing and helpful.

Exactly what you’d expect from a five-star hotel—a stunning location with gorgeous views, immaculate inside and out, and top-notch amenities. The buffet breakfast was outstanding, lunch and dinner were equally delicious (we especially loved the outdoor pizza oven!), and the bar service was fantastic. Endless opportunities for total relaxation. Highly recommend—we can’t wait to return!
