"Great relaxing resort. All rooms are on the 4th floor. Reception team was very welcoming and personable. Partial ocean view room was fantastic. Very clean toiletries well stocked. Cleaning service was great. Food and bar drinks were well presented. Couples massage was ultra relaxing and great way to start the trip. Only ding I would give is the pool area was understaffed which resulted in guests needing to help themselves and or go to the bar for adult beverages."
