The beach was well kept and one could go on for miles.

I found dinner service started far too late. The restaurant opened at 7:30 PM. It was not ideal. There were no other dining alternatives available. This greatly restricted my dining options, and I found the television was not present, a big miss for evening entertainment.

the food was amazing!!! the beach bar offered such a romantic setting for evening cocktails, a tender moment i will always remember. the large garden, abundant with birdlife, offered us peaceful mornings together. i adored the beautifully kept grounds, a haven for romantic walks.

The toiletries were limited to small containers. I wished for more ample supplies for a resort of this caliber. the lack of room service felt a bit isolating. Sometimes we wanted a quiet evening. it would have added a touch of convenience for our getaway.
