From
United StatesFrom the moment we set foot on the property to the time we left, we were in heaven. I walked off the boat to use the restroom and watched two stingrays and parrotfish swim underneath me. This was about how hard it was to spot sea life. During our stay we effortlessly swam with turtles, eagle rays, sharks and even bottlenose dolphins (a first, apparently, for the snorkel trip). We chose this resort because of the house reef and we were not disappointed. It is the best snorkeling I’ve experienced in the whole world and I’ve been all over. Do not miss the snorkel trip that takes you to an even more stunning reef, if that’s even possible.
This is a “barefoot luxury” resort that is stunning and subtle, with tons of delightful touches that were unexpected. There is:
- Complimentary homemade sorbet, ice creams and popsicles - many which are dairy free and made with coconut milk.
- A sugarcane hut giving out shots of fresh squeezed sugar cane
- The most gorgeous beachfront spa with the most talented masseuses
- An organic garden where they grow a lot of their greens and herbs
- The best breakfast buffet of all time, if you like organic, healthy, probiotic food
- Comfy lounge beds everywhere
- Perfectly groomed bike roads
- Butler service that’s actually responsive and helpful unlike every other place I’ve ever stayed that has a butler
I’m not usually this superlative about places but this one deserves it.
