This hotel is exactly what it looks like in the pictures and more. Located directly on a public, yet practically deserted, beach, it is soothing and relaxing and as close to heaven as I've found in my travels. The staff is extremely gracious and accommodating for the most part. I did have a few bad encounters with staff but nothing that dimmed my enthusiasm for the resort itself. The only issue I encountered was how far away it was from the closest town. Between that and the exorbitant rates for cabs there, it was enough to make me stick to the resort but for one day of shopping. They have a bar/restaurant that serves a wide range of delicious meals. The prices were above what you'd normally find due to it being a resort, I suppose, but I bought a few things from the grocery store and it worked out okay. Another negative was that the only way to get internet was at the bar with people all around. I had to do a few things for work so it was distracting and a little warm but all in all, I really loved it. P.S. Don't miss the beds by the pool and ocean; DECANDENT!
