8.8/10 Excellent! (234 reviews)

A unique, attractive, boutique-like facility with lots of attention paid to detail appearance. Very nice, stylish rooms. Excellent very helpful staff (limited English speaking). Somewhat “strange” partnership with neighboring facility where connecting ponds water features are located (a fair walk, especially the return uphill). Fairly isolated and difficult to get to with very limited activities.

7.8/10 Good! (2,028 reviews)

We first arrived my son’s room was dirty and mold and also my and wife’s room was dirty, and mold. They did get us better rooms after complaining about the two rooms. The food was okay but not the best. The property was clean, the pools were dirty and never cleaned. The swim up bar had children all around and the swim up bar below the pool had no bartenders. Always waiting for drinks. The beach was beautiful and clean.
