I had an enjoyable stay overall, with the resort offering beautiful views over the golf course and water. The rooms were clean, but a bit dim for my taste, making it hard to read at night. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff members were attentive, others didn’t seem as helpful. Dining could definitely use an upgrade in quality, and there were some issues with other amenities. Still, the location and the private feel of the villas made up for some of the shortcomings.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort where the rooms are absolutely spacious and comfortable, with the largest beds I've ever encountered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and modern with a stunning view, but I really missed having a comfortable place to sit. The service was mostly excellent; the friendly staff made my stay enjoyable, though I was disappointed when they couldn't make me an egg outside breakfast hours. The location was convenient, being close to beautiful beaches, but the amenities were just average. Overall, while the atmosphere was pleasant and the prices reasonable, there were definitely some hiccups during my stay.
