Review:
What a beautiful resort! The location is idyllic, the staff friendly and efficient, and the comfort is throughout. Each room has a balcony overlooking either the ocean or mountains, letting the island's beauty be enjoyed easily.

The sheets and towels were of high quality and 100% cotton. We were a bit disappointed to see vinyl shower curtain liners, but at least the shower curtain was fabric. And the wastebaskets weren't lined with plastic bags! There weren't any bulk amenities in the bathroom, only individual, non-refillable ones (though they looked like they were very nice). CFLs were in all of the lamps.

The housekeeping carts we saw had Green Seal approved cleaners, giving us confidence that the cleaning was fairly environmentally friendly. But there also weren't any fresh glasses for the rooms, so we used our own rather than their "sanitized in place" glasses. We found no evidence of a sheet/towel reuse program so we denied housekeeping or turn down during our stay (to keep them from changing our towels when we didn't want them changed).

The food was delicious, and we couldn't beat the views and ambiance of ocean-front dining. We felt as if we were in paradise with an courtyard open to the sky and filled with tropical plants and a variety of birds.
