"It is a great place to stay. My only "complaint" would be the Murphy bed mattress was just a mattress topper. It was not comfortable at all as you could feel the board when you laid on it. No mattress or box spring at all. We had a California king which was really nice so we just shared a bed. I suggest investing on new mattress for the Murphy bed. The toilet kept clogging throughout our stay( even with just number 1) but the staff was able to fix it in a timely manner. We had to use the public bathroom on the resort a few times.Breakfast was included and it was really good. There was plenty to select from for picky eaters. The resort side was really good, workers were efficient and friendly. Now, the restaurant/ bar side is owned by a different person. Please keep that in mind owner was very nice and food was good. However, the staff ( except for Walter, he was amazing and made it worth it) was not too enthusiastic. They all looked like they hated their jobs (especially the female staff). And they were not too enthusiastic in helping us We felt like we were bothering them and we are not a loud or demanding group. We are super chill. We had a water taxi vendor ( Harris) help set up a taxi and he kept trying to hang with us He kept putting his beer and food on our tab without our permission. The bar staff did not have our permission for this but we didn't want to cause a scene so we paid the 130.00usd tab. I felt like this is something they do often so watch your tab."

"Great location, very close to the beach! Everything was clean, and the staff was always kind, friendly, and welcoming. If you’re interested in practicing freediving, the reef is only about a 5-minute walk away, which was perfect for us. As a vegan, I would have loved to see more plant-based protein options, but there was still a good variety of salads and fresh fruit to choose from. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back."
