I spent a week here. The place was fantastic. I would certainly go back without hesitation. The food was really good. The staff were very nice. On the day of arrival the entire campus was without internet which was ok, but had to pay my cellular carrier to add roaming to contact kids. The golf course was in phenomenal shape, one of the best I ve ever played on. The drinks were good, but they base rum is a dark rum which makes the fruity drinks taste bad- ask them to switch it out for coconut rum!! Much better. My favorite place to eat was the Il Cielo, followed by Kimonos, and Soy. BUT, there isn t a bad place to eat here. I visited every restaurant and they were all exceptional. I don t know if the place was empty or full! Anytime we went out to eat there was no wait! No kids! No stress. It was great. The resort never seemed overcrowded like some of these other tropical destinations, but you are paying a higher price for more privacy and seclusion. My only frustration was at times there was a lack of communication between staff, primarily the water sports people. I was scheduled to scuba dive one morning but because the phone line was down the driver was never made aware and so I was sitting at the pick up location for 45 minutes. Someone used a cell phone to call him and get me but by the time I got to the dock the boat had already left. Apparently for that day all the early morning divers were the same divers for the later dive so everyone was just hanging out by the boat. They didn t realize their party was -1. It s okay though I guess because I was able to go the day before I left. Other than that the place was amazing, beautiful water just as you see in the pictures.
