I found the grounds amazing. Our room had a large comfortable bed. I loved starting mornings with yoga. The teacher was kind. Views were magnificent.

The hotel is isolated. The all-inclusive drinks were awful and served in plastic containers. Cocktails were already made up. Service was slow at the bars.
