I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff was genuinely amazing and the food was a true highlight, the room I stayed in left a lot to be desired in terms of value for the price. The beach area was clean, but it didn't meet the idyllic expectations I had. Overall, it's a lovely boutique stay, but be prepared for some quirks.
