2. Although the ocean was not swimmable (one big negative), the swimming pools were gorgeous, including a 28 meter lap pool with a blue tile bottom which is the most beautiful pool I have ever swum in.

3. The only negatives are that the rooms are not as soundproof as they should be, the setting exceeds the quality of the food in some cases (but the setting is about as good as it can be), and nothing (that isn't included) comes cheaply.

8. 1) Someone who had a very specific, isolated issue2) Someone who has some sort of personal axe to grind3) Someone who is so incredibly spoiled that there is no place on earth that could possibly satisfy you4) Someone who has an inability to spend large sums of $, but then sit back and enjoy itI've read some surprisingly negative reviews about this resort and after having spent 5 nights there, I truly cannot imagine how you could have walked away any less than amazed with this property.
