Recent guests said the resort's rooms are spacious and well-maintained, adding that you should request a room closer to the beach (only two villas face the ocean) for the best views.

"To be fair, the hotel's colonnaded beachfront facade is much more elegant than its character-free backside. And the huge freshwater infinity pool fronting Dawn Beach is beautiful."
