Had a 1 night stay here after 5 nights at Labriz. Used a free night certificate from the credit cards although would have been 95k points/nt for the base room. The arrival system could have been better explained. Drove in from the airport in our own rental car. Would have been more straightforward to stop at the arrival pavilion to drop off luggage. No signage/instructions after pulling in the resort gates so ended up parking in the parking lot. This ended up being fine as we walked over to the arrival pavilion and the concierge went to unload the car from the parking lot.
Eventually made it over to the lobby to check-in. As a diamond member, the elite perks are exceptional. Upgraded to an ocean view without pool without asking. Arrived at noon and the room was ready at 1pm. The coupon book given at check-in contains 2 free soft drinks, 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine which is great for a 1 night stay. Ended up using all of the drink options over lunch and happy hour watching the sunset before dinner. My favorite is the Jumanji mocktail.
Main pool:
Oceanview Room:
Diamond welcome gift included a bottle of red wine and some snacks with a welcome message.
Snorkeling:
Lots of sea urchins very close to the beach. Limited amounts of coral most of which has been bleached. Sometimes catch a large school of fish.
Sunset happy hour:
Romantic Bath Experience:
Free as a voucher for diamonds
Breakfast:
Cold food/drinks were served on the buffet. Hot items were ordered off the menu. Cheese and cold cuts were very high quality and quite good. Other things were good but not particularly impressive. Came around 9AM and all the tables near the railing were taken already so had to sit a few feet away in one of the interior tables.
Flora:
The resort does have the very unique cannonball tree of which there are only 4 on the entire island.
