Deferred maintenance. Pool lights wiring very visible in the pool. Villas seemed dated and deferred maintenance. Bike paths were narrow and dangerous to share with speeding golf carts with staff members. And unknown hidden tax per person per room for eco tax.

The staff and concierges were super helpful with anything we needed throughout the trip! The resort allowed for a lot of privacy in our villa and allowed us to truly relax. They even spoiled us with an upgrade to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary and baby moon! Only thing I would add is a good coffee shop!
