GOOD Beautiful resort. Main pool has a nice ambience and the green house eating and pool area is very fun and great space The decor in the rooms is incredible. Whomever did the interior design was very talented. The owner on Wednesday did his take on a manager's cocktail reception, which was him singing and playing guitar by a bonfire while offering people free wine. Was a nice touch. The walk to the beach was quite nice going through a cool sand dune area and then to the cliffs, before the steps to the beach. Would be nice if the path was a bit wider in some areas but it was manageable. BAD 1. For the "Love" rooms, they are all different layouts, features and decor, but cost the same, and you can't specify which one you want. Kind of weird but I am sure there is some reason, but sucks that you can't choose the one that is clearly better and nicer than the others even if you book well in advance. 2. We stayed in the green superior villa, which is a 3 bedroom villa. Stunning. Nice layout. Bedrooms have blinds, but the rest of the villa does that. In fact, there is absolutely no privacy as other villas look right into the backyard area, AND right into the villa living room. The lack of privacy was not at all shown in the photos online, and in fact, it appeared like there was privacy so perhaps the photos were taken before the other road of villas were built. A bit deceiving and an easy enough fix: put in curtains or blinds. 3. There are some good design elements that are just completely dysfunctional, and frankly dangerous. For example the master bedroom bed had an platform bed, but the platform extended about 18 inches wider than the bed. So to get out, you have to really extend your legs. It seems silly to complain about it, but if you aren't used to it, you will get out of bed and maybe trip or bang your feet. Secondly, to the side of the bed, just above where your head would be once you stand up, there is a suspended light. So to be able to get out of the bed, you either trip and bang your feet, and/or hit your head on the overhanging light. I did it 3 times until I got used to it. These are just 2 examples, but there were a lot of cool design choices that were insanely dysfunctional. 4. Service was very slow. As in, incredibly slow. Would have to ask for things numerous times. 5. When I checked in, they asked if i had any allergies. I informed them I couldn't eat seeds. Then I ordered food, asked what was in the hummus, they didn't mention seeds, and then when I got it, it was covered in seeds. I asked the waitress and she said "oh i didn't know". Not a sorry. Nothing really to make up for it. Not end of the world, but weird they'd ask but then do nothing with that information and not take any accountability. 6. There is no AC at all. They say that on the website, as I know they are committed to sustainability, but would have been nice to have AC in the rooms and time restrict it to the nights only. They recommended to just open th
