As a family we overall enjoyed our stay. The view is spectacular, we enjoyed eating on the porch, and the rooms were comfortable. Little things like clocks not having batteries, lights not working , and a weird noise like we were next to a mechanical room made the luxury stay a little disappointing. I have stayed at this resort before and will again.
