This review by @kpevarsk on TripAdvisor tells it all about the quality of services and the beautiful details that will make this special day unforgettable:
“I got married on their beach with less than 25 people present. From the planning process to checking out, they were incredibly attentive and made sure that we felt completely taken care of. They had decorated our room and given us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries on our arrival. They provided an incredible, exclusive welcome dinner for our guests the night before the wedding. For the ceremony, they setup a beautiful arbor with fresh roses with a walkway and chairs for our guests. They arranged a beautiful dinner in the gazebos with a delicious coursed meal. They truly thought of everything! They even helped me arrange for a hairstylist and photographers and steamed my dress before the ceremony. We also received breakfast in bed and another private candlelit dinner for just the two of us. The service was incredible and my wedding was everything I had hoped it would be!! We are already planning on going back!”
