"The bedroom isn't huge, but the vanity area is quite spacious. The use of Byredo toiletries really elevates the luxurious feel. The mattress is on the softer side, but the pillows are quite comfortable, and the soundproofing is decent.
The hotel has several restaurants. Breakfast was just okay, and you might have to queue during peak hours. The prices are a bit steep.
The infinity pool is located on the 4th floor near the lobby. The view isn't anything special, but it wasn't crowded. I highly recommend the beachfront pool, which offers direct ocean views and is very calming and therapeutic.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist. There's also a buggy service available to take you anywhere on the property. The hotel is about a 40-minute drive from the airport.
The only drawback is the lack of fruit stands or convenience stores nearby. You'd need to take a taxi to reach one."
