"A comida poderia ser melhor. Por exemplo, o churrasco é de qualidade muito baixa, não deve servi-lo por buffet. Pelo valor que uma pessoa paga para ficar no Resort, deveria ser de melhor qualidade. Mas o resort e o atendimento foi perfeito"

"Un lugar hermoso y la playa espectacular. De pronto un poco caluroso y cerrado el comedor durante los desayunos pero la habitación cómoda, bonita y limpia y pensaron en cada pequeño detalle para que el huésped disfrute de todos los espacios. La música en vivo en las noches Espectacular!!El comedor era un poco bullicioso y encerrado y hacía bastante calor en los desayunos. Es lo único que deberían arreglar."

"The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. Any issues we had were resolved promptly. My main complaint is the inconsistency sometimes the service, food, cleanliness, and hospitality were excellent, and other times very disappointing. Also, there is no safe walkway outside the hotel, so if you enjoy walking, running, or biking, it can be very dangerous."

"Beautiful property on the beach. Very well kept and quiet. Breakfast was good. AC worked well. Beds were comfortable and pillows a bit flat and hard. The grounds and the property were really nice and relaxing with 2 pools and plenty of hammocks. Very close to activities. Tide pools were 5 minute walk and very pretty with lots of colorful fish"
