“Verdant, almost jungle-like grounds create a tranquil escape, though the lack of accessible beach might disappoint some. While the spacious villas impress with exclusive furnishings, some facilities show signs of needed renovation. I think that with some adjustments to dining prices and ongoing improvements, the resort could better reflect its luxury aspirations.”
