The property is tranquil, relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. The community infinity pool is AMAZING! Could spend hours in there. The rooms all have your own infinity pool as well which is amazing if you have an ocean front room. There is a bathtub in the villa that is big enough for two, which is nice for couples. The staff is exceptional, they will go out of their way to get you whatever you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There are also NO BEACH BOYS!! Which is a huge plus. Private beach, private villa, private property.
There honestly isnt much I dont like about the property, I think if they added TVs with Netflix or something would be nice but youll be outside most of the time so you dont really even need that.

Overall ambience, quality of service, quality of food, comfort and facilities.
The requirement to keep an initial deposit despite paying the room charges for the entire stay in advance seemed a little out of place.
