Suite - Garden View Casa Santuario

The property recently completed a $60M renovation and every part of the resort seems to have been either replaced or completely renovated.  

Check In

We arrived at 6pm and was led directly to reception.  After a delicious welcome fruit beverage we were transported to our room by our butler on a golf cart.  

What a sight it was being driven to our room.  The "sidewalks" here are actually boardwalks elevated up anywhere from zero to 8-feet above the ground.  It seemed like we were traveling through a rainforest.

Room

We were very lucky to have been upgraded to a Garden View Suite as a Platinum Premier on a points stay. This room was located in building 6.  With exception of the direct ocean views from building 5, I'd say this is the perfect location as it is so close to the pool, Seagrapes restaurant, and the main building.

Comparing to pictures of the original design which I'd describe as Polynesian tropical, the remodel has switched to a lighter, more Caribbean blue color scheme.

Service

Service was excellent during our stay.  The butlers offered to press two garments per person, per day.  They would also bring complimentary coffee in the morning.

Dining

There are two restaurants on property.  Seagrapes is the all-day dining option, located near the pool.  The breakfast buffet was excellent.  There seemed to be any type of breakfast food offered.  A chef on the patio would make eggs and omlelets to order.  A wide selection of fresh juices, including some unique local flavors were offered.

Later in the day the interior portion of Seagrapes transforms into a bar area for pool drinks.  They also offers pizza made in a brick oven on the patio for lunch and dinner.  We ordered 3 different varieties and all were very tasty.

 

Paros, the fine dining restaurant open for dinner, is located on the 2nd floor of the main building.  It offers an excellent selection of Greek cuisine.

Pool

The pool looks to have been completely renovated.  I believe the shape and layout is the same, but it now 100% shimmering blue mosaic tiles.

Overall

This property is one of the most beautiful resorts I've ever seen.  The views and landscaping gives you the feeling that you are staying in the middle of a rainforest.  That coupled with the top notch ammenities and service makes this a location that should not be missed.
