Our stay at this resort was absolutely delightful. The setting is simply beautiful, allowing for a peaceful escape. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, complete with a lovely outdoor shower that added to the charm. However, there were times when we felt the service could have been a bit quicker. Dining was generally enjoyable, but we wished for more variety in breakfast options. Overall, it's a fantastic getaway worth every penny, especially if you're looking for a relaxing experience by the beach.

GoldenEye resort is a hidden gem that offers a unique mix of relaxation and adventure. The setting is stunning, and there is plenty to explore, with beautiful beaches and tranquil pools. The food is delicious, but be prepared for some late-night planning since the kitchen closes early. While the staff is generally friendly, I found a few hiccups with service that made things a bit less personal than I had hoped for. Overall, this is a rewarding getaway with plenty to offer.
