The property has lovely amenities including the infinity pool, the lagoon pool, several on site dining establishments and large rooms. Reception was attentive and assisted with all queries. Housekeeping did a terrific job in keeping the rooms clean and tidy. I was a bit disappointed by the limited items for guest use in the room. Very limited options in the provided tea/coffee supplies. Hard to control bulk dispensing pumps in the shower and basin. The bed, though large, was not comfortable and was not wheel locked in place. Just a few things would have made it a great experience. Overall, a nice place to spend 1-2 days while exploring the area.
