“The adults-only resort cultivates serenity with its overwater bungalows-a distinctive offering in the Mexican Caribbean. I noticed the emphasis on tailored experiences, from personalized butler service to private infinity pools, which suggests an intimate escape. While some online comments mention potential obstructions to ocean views from certain bungalows, the consensus points to attentive service and a generally luxurious, relaxing atmosphere.”
