"It was a great relaxing oasis. Meant for a peaceful getaway for my wife's birthday and it was just that. I will say just to be mindful and this is by no means a critique of the property but this is for your own planning. It is operated as a resort so your activities, meals, etc can be charged to your room very easily and it includes a gratuity so the final bill was more than I planned but that was on me getting caught up in all of the great amenities. Just wanted to mention for your planning."
