Our stay at this resort was peaceful, with stunning views from our terrace and a comfortable suite that felt like home. The staff made us feel welcome and safe during our visit. However, we didn't explore much outside the resort as we were so content lounging around. The breakfast options were limited at times, which was a slight letdown.
