We booked the Amara unit (Deluxe Villa, 2 Bedrooms, Jetted Tub, Sea View) in early October. The views are beautiful and the place was nice, but the stay was far from peaceful. From sunrise to sunset, the main outdoor living space overlooks a narrow public pathway crowded with professional photographers and women posing in silk dresses (Google "flying dress photoshoot" - it's a thing). We constantly had to ask people to move just to enter or leave our unit, which got old fast!
The small upstairs view deck offers more privacy, but this was also rented out to photographers for their photo shoots. It ruined our sunset experience several times and felt like double-dipping on a space we expected to enjoy as guests.
The manager was very friendly initially but became noticeably standoffish after I raised concerns about the constant photo shoots and lack of communication.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a peaceful stay with sunset views away from the crowds, this isn't the place. The views are lovely, but the constant lack of privacy would make me choose somewhere else.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2026
