My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! Nestled in a tropical paradise, it offered a blend of privacy and comfort. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, though I noted the walls could be thin; however, this didn't detract much from my experience. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive! The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the vibrant Fifth Avenue, while also being right on the beach. Dining was a highlight with a fantastic selection, though I felt some options could be expanded. Overall, a serene yet lively experience that was definitely worth the price!
