This is one of the most stunning hotel properties I’ve been to, in both scale and execution. Went for a quick solo jaunt off the back of a work trip and it was a lovely winter reprieve. Hotel provided a nice little room upgrade with a plunge pool on the lanai. The pool and beach setup were lovely; also very nice having the St Regis sister property next door (with linked billing systems). Food at the hotel was quite nice; gym had good equipment, but gets cramped at busy times. The only real gripe I have is that almost everything on property is egregiously expensive, even for high end hotels, and absent a rental car you are pretty much relegated to the property. Additionally, it would be nice if there was a coffee shop with some casual food and drink options. All in all though, this is a beautiful hotel that makes for a lovely (albeit expensive) getaway - highly recommend and hope to go back!

We had a great time. We loved the snorkeling service, Honorato, Ulises and Fausto were amazing. At the reef, we saw 4 rays, squid, trumpet fish and many other fish and reef formations. Also, Honorato's underwater pictures of the group were incredible. Highly recommend the snorkeling tour.
