Beautiful location, excellent service. Only negative was property made it too difficult to use Expedia Gold credit. Property breaks the total credit between 9 separate items, providing a modest discount on each one, making it almost impossible to use most of the credit.

This trip was for a romantic getaway for my girlfriends 50th birthday. It far exceeded any expectations we could have had. From the minute we got picked up by Alberto, who was an amazing recourse, we were taken care of and pampered. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and truly made you feel like you were family. Our butler service was exceptional! Pilar/Yasser/Liz were available whenever we needed them. Big or small every request was taken care of! The food was 5star and incredible. We ate and drank too much, but loved every minute of it. Our service staff at the restaurant, Ulysses, Christian, Patricia with more were outstanding! Our massage at the spa was incredible with Ange and Blaee. This place is heaven. We had the trip of a lifetime!
Beach was exceptional, never having to look for a spot
