A truly unique place, with inspiring views and a calming energy about it. Has a friendly feel everywhere you go, and staff are pleasant and helpful while respecting your space. Kids look happy, parents look relaxed.

There are different 'spaces' to hang out in, so there's enough variety to be able to stay there for a good length of time - there's the beach, a few restaurants on the resort itself, village square/kids' club, 3 different pools, tennis courts, the spa. At the same time, the resort is easily walkable, so it doesn't feel massive and impersonal.

I also like that the buildings don't all look the same, so it doesn't feel homogenous. And they've paid attention to using warm materials and beautiful landscaping.
