The property is absolutely stunning. They upgraded us to a bungalow overlooking hole 1 on the golf course; amazing views and breeze off the ocean daily. I thoroughly enjoyed the place. The only downside for me was the lack of non-dairy option on their in room dining. There were some gluten free things, but they need more IMO for a resort of this price point. Update the menus at the main restaurants too. They also seemed to close down early at night; don't know that was about. pool restaurant down by 9pm. Thought this was odd.

Wonderful facilities and the golf is extraordinary! The staff are extremely helpful and courteous. However, they like to charge for parking which doesn't make since because you basically park at your front door.

Beautiful resort

Pros: The swimming pool and their spa facilities.
Cons: Almost perfect!
Location: restaurants and malls close by
I am impressed with the staff & the resort. We stayed at the luxurious bungalows, and it is just like staying in your own house. I wish there were a kitchenette tho. The pool is just beautifully big enough to give everyone his/her space. I left a pair of my favourite shoes. I called the security (spoke to Ecka) and he said they would send as a complimentary to my home address. I highly recommend this resort, and I am extremely happy with my stay.
