I can't say enough wonderful things about this resort! The front desk and all customer service was phenomenal! We arrived at 2 am and they were wonderful enough to keep food out awaiting our arrival. So thoughtful and we were more than thankful since we were rerouted and arrived much later than planned. The rooms are gorgeous! The property is stunning! Housekeeping was so friendly and did a great job. The rooms were immaculate! The buffets for our half board were neverending and the perfect selection! Everything was fresh and delicious for both breakfast and dinner. I would absolutely come back! Perfection!
