amazing beachside experience!

private beachawesome massagedelicious fooddelayed towels
The location was awesome with that huge, practically private beach right there (i mean, who wouldn't love that?). the spa visit was a total win. Prima gave me an amazing massage. chef heshan and his team cooked up the best meals. The food was delicious! i definitely want to visit again sometime.
the pool towels sometimes took a while to appear in the morning. it'd be great if they were available earlier.
