This is the best Hotel/Resort I ever have had the pleasure to stay and enjoy. It felt like home. You get the impression you have the place to yourself. This is by design. Absolutely stunning beauty throughout the resort. The staff is incredible, helpful, knowledgeable and so nice. The 1st words spoken to me as I exited my taxi were, "Welcome home Mr. Brenner." We were home and we will be back. 5 STARS. Put this on your bucket list folks. You won't regret it.
