For the price, just not the value you would expect. Menus limited. Service is slow. The spa is over priced and confusing. Setting was lovely but just not at all what I was expecting. Rooms quiet and clean. And comfortable.

This was one of our favorite places we have ever been. The communication from before arrival, all throughout was so good and made it easy to decide what to do. The Mantu (friend in native dialect) or Butler guides the day and makes it easy to curate your experience on the go. Must do: Sunset drinks at Ambar one night, spa pool (you can access anytime) for sunset, nature tour, snorkeling (the will lend you a snorkel for right off the beach) Every hour they bring round a little bite or juice while your laying by the pool or beach. Also, I didnt realize you could get reservations and they would take you to the other hotels. We loved the steakhouse and Italian at the four seasons and we liked the asian concept at Andaz. The restaurant by the beach at ritz for lunch is amazing too. My only feedback: add beach totes to borrow in the room, clear the room service trays during stay and coffee shop was too expensive - it was oddly more expensive than anything on the property - except the massages - $650 including tip for a 90 min - it was a STELLAR massage but thats extreme imo. if it was 400 something I probably would have gotten a second one. We loved loved loved coming here and cannot wait to come back.

This place is beautiful, It is in a secluded gated locked down area. Umm - you're pretty much locked in. Which is fine. But the amenities and food is super expensive. This place was more expensive than Bora Bora (for whatever reason). Yet, that Peruvian restaurant was well worth it. The Beach club downstairs via the funicular was also good. Why the 3-star rating? (1) Our butler was a bit useless and umm -- lazy. We didn't feel engaged and he did not cater to us when we really needed it. (2) The toilet door and lock is designed poorly where it locked us out. (3) The Mexican and breakfast restaurant staff kept messing up our food order. And not to mention, like slooooooowwwww. Interesting enough, the slooooooowwwww service has mentioned in other reviews. Because of the poor service, we cannot fully recommend this place.
