Close to airport but no airport noise. great location

I liked the hotel setting, its clean swimming pool. The hotel pays a lot of attention to the details. It's clean and comfortable overall, and hotel staff are friendly overall.

Breakfast by the pool was great, loved morning walks on the beach, and all the staff we came into contact with were super friendly. We did request for a crib, but since we booked last minute, it was totally understandable that one was not readily available when we arrived (30 minutes after booking). Loved our stay here in its entirety. What a beautiful resort and location.

The location is perfect for our preference to travel all parts of the island.

This property is gorgeously maintained. the pictures hardly do it justice. We celebrated our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better hotel.

Hotel and facilities were really beautiful, just as described.

Very beautiful, very nice, very clean. The pool could not be better, the choice of restaurants is excellent

beautiful location, staff was terrific and helpful, pool was awesome and the beach was great

The property was clean and beautiful 😍 the staff were all polite as a helpful

We didn’t get the breakfast because we didn’t know how to get it and when asked about it staff members seemed confused. The pool and access to the beach was great and walks to delicious food made it convenient.
