“The architecture, a nod to Geoffrey Bawa, imbues the expansive grounds with a sense of calm, even when busy. The resort's considerable pool and direct beach access are undeniable highlights, complemented by consistently attentive staff who make an effort to personalize stays. While rooms are generally comfortable with sea views, be prepared for the occasional vibrancy from wedding celebrations.”
