Overall Score5.0/ 5
This was the best vacation ever. The resort staff were amazing. They always greeted us with a smile no matter the time. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and again the service was top notch. When it was all said and done, I did not want to leave. Will definitely be going back again. It is a must stay.
