The property was beautiful. We stayed in a beachfront villa Y3. Everyone was amazing from Tess at the front desk to Emile and Esther in the restaurants. They made our anniversary very special. So thankful. Omer on checkout was amazing as well.

1. We scheduled a special birthday dinner on the beach but they forgot it was a special birthday and didn’t bring the cake or sing happy birthday. Dinner was over and they asked us if we wanted dessert that was our clue they forgot about us. So, with hurt feelings we left for our villa. They tried to make it up to us by offering to sing and give us a cake after the next days dinner. We declined. They then wanted to bring our cake to our room. We declined. We felt that they wanted to just sell us the cake. You know. Make the sale. We were leaving in the next few days. One other surprise was that we discovered was that the room service charge was $10 per person not per room. The way they mentioned the charge “it will be $10 for room service” lead me to think it was per room not per person.
