This is a fantastic island resort, where you can enjoy total peace and quiet on the beach or head to the pool area for a livelier vibe with music. No matter where you enter the ocean, you’ll find a beautiful coral reef filled with colorful fish. We stayed in Beach Villas just a few steps from the ocean, with amazing privacy. We also spent time in the stunning Heaven Suites, and what an experience it was to live in such luxurious surroundings right over the water! The entire island was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. Everywhere we went, the staff were incredibly welcoming and truly dedicated to making our stay perfect.
