“I was intrigued by the sheer scale of this resort, sprawling across acres with its own lagoon system-a bold counterpoint to typical beachfront properties. The Japanese-inspired spa promises an immersive experience, and I like the variety of international dining options available. This could be a smart pick for families seeking a blend of relaxation and activities, with a focus on space and unique water features.”
