“In my opinion, this adults-only resort cultivates a tranquil atmosphere, enhanced by its near-private beach on Playa Arenilla. I think the all-inclusive approach, paired with diverse dining, emphasizes convenience, and the proximity to Liberia International Airport simplifies travel. Its commitment to wildlife protection also demonstrates responsible luxury, in my view.”
