Creator's Key Takeaways

it's actually way better than I remembered

this is up there with the best we've ever stayed in

the rain trees are the star of the gardens and really the star of this resort

Blissful. Yeah, we had a couple's massage

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the Raza Wing for access to the private adults-only pool and complimentary cocktails/canapes
✓Use the afternoon tea and evening cocktails as a light dinner substitute
✓Visit the gardens early in the morning to see the gardeners at work and avoid jet ski noise
✓Try the pitch and putt golf course for a low-cost beachfront activity
✓Request a room with a balcony bath for a unique experience

Is it overrated given its age? — The resort has been extensively renovated and is in sparkling condition; it exceeds expectations
Will it be too crowded? — The property is 30 acres with multiple pools and areas, so it never feels crowded
Is it worth the price? — The Raza Wing benefits (private pool, cocktails, afternoon tea) provide significant value
