This resort is a quiet oasis and a great getaway for relaxation. We booked a Beachfront Pool Suite to celebrate my 40th birthday. We booked the all inclusive plan from Monday to Saturday. Our flight arrived mid afternoon. We highly recommend the airport transfer. It made it easy getting to the resort. The island was much more arid than I expected but beautiful! Our ride to the resort had an amazing view of Willemstad! Upon arrival the entrance immediately captured our attention. As the doors opened, several staff members greeted us and offered a damp towel to freshen up and took our luggage. A staff member provided us with a tour of the grounds. I loved the zen feel of the resort and the details really made the vibe. The banyan tree was beautiful and I loved the “first laid stone” sign (which just happened to be the date of my birthday 20 years ago!). We arrived a few minutes before our room was ready so we stopped off at the bar where we were given a “Welcome” drink. I believe the resort typically provides this immediately upon arrival but we had it while sitting at the bar awaiting the preparation of our room. There was some confusion about that when we ordered from the bartender. The room was amazing. It was one of my favorite rooms we have had on vacation. The bathroom and closet are nicely separated from the bed which provides an amazing view of the pool and outdoor oasis. The bed was very comfortable. Our patio had a “spa” with jets as part of the pool, but it was not heated like a hot tub. A nice touch was the Sonos sound system that played in the room and on the patio. We had a couple of issues with ours but the staff sent someone to fix it. You can select your own music from Spotify but some of the tracks would change before reaching the end of the song. I really liked the Baoase playlist (I even listened to a bit when we got home!) Since we arrived late afternoon we were tired from travel and decided to turn in early. The prospect of room service was appealing but when reviewing the a la carte menu, we did not find any option to be quick and easy so we opted to skip dinner that night. It was unclear if we could order from the bites menu which would have been perfect. Our particular room had a deck on the rocky area of the shore overlooking the ocean. Before turning in, I watched the sunset. I walked the grounds and it was peaceful and quiet in the evening. The next morning we woke early and had breakfast which begins at 7:00 am. The breakfast includes a buffet, which included pastries, fresh fruit, infused water, and mimosas. There was also a large selection of fresh juice. Other options on the menu include eggs, pancakes, crepes, and waffles. I ordered eggs most mornings but liked the pancake better than the waffle. The coffee drinks were on point but if you are looking for a smoothie, note there is an upcharge that is not part of the all inclusive. This came as a surprise since if I were to order a frozen alcoholic drink, i
