The property was very clean and nice. The proximity to the village restaurants in the evening was wonderful. We tried many and had zero poor experiences. The food was fantastic. The sushi at the property was better than sushi at the local restaurant. Drink service on the beach was prompt. The front desk for excursions was top notch. Bring more cash than you need. No atms near by and tips along with cabs are all cash.

The resort was beautiful. A bit small but definitely felt like home. The staff at both the reception desk and the restaurant were friendly, courteous and always willing to provide assistance at the resort and for our activities. Having breakfast on the beach every morning was a delight. The ability to walk across to nearby restaurants was also great. Only small downside was the amount of sargassum on the beach daily but the hotel did a great job of trying to clean up so guests could enjoy the beach. All in all a great experience and choice for our honeymoon.
