“Very peaceful place to stay, if you are not in a rush”
The pictures describe quite well the property and fully aligned with what we expected. Everything comfortable , cozy, and even when we were told the hotel was at maximum capacity, was difficult to believe because it seemed so chilled and peaceful.

“Great hotel, we loved it, but we probably would not come back”
We loved the entire layout of the place, it was calm and peaceful, staff was very friendly, sun beds were super comfortable and it was very empty when we were there. We recommend March. The tour to hells kitchen was one of the highlights.

“Fantastic!”
We loved our stay, the staff is very professional, the food is spectacular, and they are very flexible. Shuttle services available to take you to the resort whenever you would like. We spent most of our time at the retreat because it was so relaxing and quiet. We also had a pool right outside our room which was a plus! Would definitely go back!
