My new favorite resort
This hotel is everything I dreamed a plant-based all-inclusive could be! The staff was so kind and attentive, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, our spa treatment was magical and walking though the property was like being on a movie set, everything was pristine. Definitely worth the upgrade to the adults-only room. Can't wait to go back

A disappointing experience
Shower with cold water. We figured out the second day that you need to let the water running for 15-20 minutes until you get hot water. They kept replenish only 3 towels for 4 people even when we told them repeatedly it's not enough. The food is subpar and the non vegan options are really poor in selection and quality. The door to the balcony was extremely heavy. It was impossible for my daughter (she's 12) to open it by herself. And it keeps on and on. We paid over $1000 a night for a suite and it was extremely disappointing for us.
