"I loved the club lounge, fitness center, and spa. Staff members in the lounge were very welcoming and attentive and made it well worth the additional daily cost for access. The fitness center had everything we needed and the manicure I received at the spa was beautiful. The property itself is gorgeous and I especially loved walking the trail to the public
beach
that's just below the property. I'd highly recommend. :) "
