We stayed here for 6 days and 5 nights in May 2024 to celebrate a birthday. Arrival -We opted for the helicopter transfer from the resort to the airport, which cut the travel time down from 1 hour to 7 minutes! Julio, our helicopter pilot, kept the ride nice and smooth, and pointed out several landmarks on the island before we arrived at the resort helipad. -A short but bumpy car ride got us up to the top of another giant hill, where the resort is actually located. Check-In: -We were greeted by the hostess with damp hand towels immediately upon stepping out of the car, then escorted directly to our sanctuary by our Major Domo. Check-in actually happens in your room, so you’re immediately in a better mood while sitting and learning about the resort and its amenities instead of standing in line in an airy hotel lobby. Everything was remarkably well coordinated! -The helicopter can only accommodate backpacks and purses, so our luggage arrived around 5:30 pm by car, roughly 1.5 hours after we arrived at the resort. That fact should really be written down somewhere on the resort website so people aren’t surprised by it. We still had plenty of time to get ourselves together for dinner, but it would have been nice to know that had we planned an early dinner, we’d have needed to have our change of clothes and appropriate toiletries in our backpacks. -Our Major Domo borrowed our passports for record keeping, returning them 10 minutes later. Another person came to the room to do the credit card authorization for incidentals. The resort charges you 50% of your stay at booking and the other 50% one month before check-in. When you schedule excursions, the charges are treated as incidentals and handled directly through the resort so you don’t have to bring your credit card to every site you visit on the island. -Our sanctuary’s mini-fridge was already stocked with Coke, Sprite, bottled water, sparkling water, and juice. There was also a bottle of champagne on ice greeting us in our room! Room: -We booked a Moon sanctuary, and were given JC3. This is easily the most amazing resort room I’ve ever been in! High quality hardwood floors, comfortable sectional sofa and dining chairs, and proper netting around the bed with a ceiling fan directly over the bed. -You are outside. Seriously outside. The 4th wall is conspicuously absent, going along with the natural vibe of the resort. This makes for the most amazing view I’ve ever had from a hotel room, with two large pitons in our direct line of sight! The trade off for having this amazing room is not having air conditioning in the traditional sense. There are 9 ceiling fans, and we kept them on the whole time we were there! There is often a breeze blowing, but you’ll be glad the fans are there when the wind stops. I tend to run warm, so it was an adjustment sleeping the first night while feeling about 5 degrees warmer than usual. My wife runs cooler, so she had no problem going to sleep when it was 80 degrees at
