“This boutique resort fosters an intimate experience, thanks to its hillside location with panoramic Caribbean views; I think its smaller size really lets the staff focus on personalized service. With dining options offering both local and international cuisine, plus quick access to beaches, it's a tranquil spot for families or couples.”
