Exceptional resort! Bed and bedding is 5 stars, and the garden view rooms are beyond beautiful. My highest recommendation!

Andre and his team were excellent, the facility is first class and the food was excellent. The venue is very nice with three separate pools and beach access. We rented kayaks from the vendors in the beach to explore the caves…

The hospitality was excellent. The food and beverage's were sub par. I waited over an hour for a simple club sandwich at the rooftop bar and when I got it it was not tasty. We did have a good picture of margaritas at the pool but again it took close to an hour to get it.

Lovely newly renovated hotel new to the Kimpton brand (was in a bit of soft launch phase wating for peak season). Very friendly staff eager to help. Large well decorated rooms and bathrooms. Lovely pools and large grounds annd gardens which are immaculate. Few minutes walk to an amazing picturesque beach with restaurant (although wasn’t yet open too early in the season). Can do small treks to nearby beaches. Would recommend a car if staying for more than a couple of days as there isn’t much nearby.
