Top notch service and food! This resort is absolutely beautiful and clean. The spa is a must, it is fabulous! We could not eat at the Michelin Star restaurant which was very disappointing. The earliest reservation was for 9:45pm, which is very late. I wish I would have known to book dinner reservations ahead of time. There was no way to get an earlier reservation the entire week we were there. Everything at this resort was just amazing!

The service, food and pool/beach areas were exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food at each a La cart restaurant was delicious. We loved how the Mexican restaurant on site made table side margarita and guacamole. The Michelin star restaurant was a great experience and all of these restaurants were included in the cost. Even the buffet had good food. The resort was right on the beach which was cleaned and raked everyday. The property had serval infinity pools that were gorgeous. We left talking about when we can plan to come back again.
