The site is wonderful. Peaceful. Pools and beach are excellent. Many places to walk and bike. Safe. Room was nice but poorly isolated from noisy neighbors. Food overall was ok but not aligned with the level of luxury that this place offers. Overall, we had a very good time

We booked a suite at this beautiful hotel as a couple, hoping to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible due to a neighboring room occupied by a family with several children and a barking dog. We reported the issue that night, but by checkout the next morning, there was no record of our complaint. I ended up waiting nearly an hour while multiple staff members tried to address the situation. For a reputable establishment, I expected more acknowledgment and consideration for the disruption we experienced.
