Guest scores & sentiment
From 150 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-18
Guests overwhelmingly praise the highly personalized butler service, beautifully designed villas with private plunge pools, and exceptional fresh seafood dining. The secluded setting and calm lagoon offer perfect relaxation. Minor concerns include long, bumpy airport transfers with high fees, occasional bed bug or sand flea issues in some rooms, and excessively large meal portions.
