This is located on an island so the only way to get here is via boat. You can travel via car but not as convenient, you still need the boat to get from car to island. It is very peaceful, staff very friendly. Expedia mislead us to say it was all inclusive which isn't true. They only cover 3 meals a day but you have to pay for lunch when you arrive. The food quality is weaker than the walled city but comparably more expensive. Alcohol is not included. The entire experience was very relaxing and quiet. This was probably the best part.

Amazing get away resort. Food and drinks are outstanding. Special shoutout to Lewin, Silvio and Alvaro. Ammenities on this resort are above similar properties. Beach is not the biggest and due to its location and depending on weather, the water can get mixed up and not be as turquoise as other beaches in the area.

Had a wonderful stay. It was the middle of Nov and we had the resort to ourselves. Not too many day trippers. Several tips. Bring bug spray at sunrise and sunset they are out. The sea is clear only when it is not windy. All water is brought to the resort by a boat tanker. If the resort tank is low so is the pressure and limited hot water.
