We celebrated our wedding on April 16th 2021 and we were so happy that even though it was Covid times our family and friends (60 of us all together) had the best experience, the hotel followed an strict protocol. We really enjoyed our time at the resort and are very happy we chose this resort to host our wedding.” – Pilar F.
