10/10 Excellent

"Honeymoon trip and experience was 11/10\. Amazing resort with lots of fun activities on site led by amazing staff (especially Ludin aka Lulu and Pablo - both have amazing energy and made the trip super memorable!) EDIT: Met ricardo from event team last 2 days and he is amazing as well! Aquaaerobics with him is a killer workout! Also want to shoutout Marco from the food team at Siete restaurant - he greets us with the friendliest smile every morning and makes the best smoothies!"
