Generally it was a great spot and I’d go Back again. Sadly, on a Friday afternoon we went out to the pool and as it was cooler being the start of rainy season, the bar was closed which was disappointing. Also was hoping for more amazing fruit on the breakfast buffet given the location, but the pineapple that was there was fantastic. Otherwise was a great place.

The hotel was more than expected. Outside of the room being huge and clean, the scenery around the hotel was beautiful. You can take a nice calming walk on grounds and just be lost in tranquility. 100% loved it. Great restaurants and bars on the grounds as well
