Our check in was incredible. We got to check in early, we requested an upgrade and were given a room that was available. They left us a gift in our room for our Babymoon. The staff were exceedingly friendly at every level, and the room servicing was efficient and amazing. We had a wonderful spa day during our stay and our only note there is that it’s only missing a cold plunge. Food was amazing at Brown’s and the breakfast buffet is really good as well as the happy hour —shoutout to Christian at the bar who made us a custom drink and wrote it down so we could request it even when he wasn’t on shift. Great snorkeling with complimentary equipment for 1 hour (which is more than enough to see all the amazing fish, coral, and sea turtles). Very family friendly and we can’t wait to come back with our kids.

Beautiful resort in a stunning, peaceful location. Spacious grounds, excellent service, and a calm luxury vibe without feeling stuffy. The beach and lagoon are perfect for relaxing, and the sunsets are incredible. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. A great balance of resort amenities and laid-back island feel would happily return
