We enjoyed a truly memorable week at this resort, marking our second visit since our first stay in 2009. The transformation since then has been remarkable; what was once a 5-star resort has been elevated to a genuine luxury experience. The renovations and improvements throughout are evident, creating a more refined and inviting atmosphere. The food quality is outstanding, and the service is exceptional, with friendly, attentive staff eager to meet every need. The beach, while on the smaller side, is impeccably clean and serene, providing a peaceful retreat. Although the beach bar cocktails weren't quite to our taste—slightly watered down, perhaps—it’s a matter of preference rather than a criticism, as the beach-side service itself was flawless. The resort offers an impressive array of wellness activities. We attended a "Healthy Back" session at the gym and were genuinely impressed by the instructor’s passion and dedication to her work. Another session we enjoyed took place at Yubarta, focusing on the nutritional benefits of coffee, cacao, and tea. Yennite (apologies if I’ve misspelled her name) was a knowledgeable and engaging guide through the material, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A highlight of our stay was a tour of the island led by a biologist from the gardening team. He was a wealth of information on the local flora, fauna, and geological history, delivering it all with professionalism and enthusiasm. We stayed in Villa 4, a beautiful beachfront villa that was both stylishly decorated and extremely comfortable, complete with indoor and outdoor showers. With three rooms, each offering convenient access to the pool and ocean, I’d highly recommend choosing this villa. It proved especially handy on a rainy day when we could easily switch between relaxing on the veranda and taking quick swims in the sea. Finally, the lobby bar deserves a special mention for its exceptional signature cocktails. Don’t miss out on trying them—they won’t disappoint!
