Room was good the food was good staff was very good. Negatives for me were all bar stools have no high backs and n lounges were a bit uncomfortable and the monkeys we thought we would see around the resort were caged up nothing loose around the resort.

Spectacular beach and ocean waters! Modern room, with motion detection lighting feature - fulfilling the sustainability brand promise. Delightful animals - including white peacock - roaming freely in natural habitat. Clean room and public spaces. Quality spa, which also offers massage services at beach or in jungle.
