Guest Reviews:

- "This resort is fabulous - a stunning location (epic views) and beautifully maintained property. The food and service were second to none - seriously - we returned from a long day of hiking to hot baths drawn in our rooms. Our family had two types of rooms (a Jr suite and a villa), and both were lovely with ocean views. Our packages included breakfast, dinner and outstanding spa treatments making this resort a great value, as well. Our dinners at Okas restaurant were Michelin-worthy. Thank you, Sankara, for a wonderfully memorable stay!"
