"Amazing, amazing resort. We went for our honeymoon and had a great time! Spent most of our time on the beach, which was well maintained and had drink service all day! In the afternoons, we loved doing activities, and Carlos was amazing at keeping us entertained! All of the food we had was great, if not amazing! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. "
