The Starfish resort offered a lovely stay with clean rooms that had great ocean views, but some aspects, like the dining choices and bar service, could use improvement. Overall, I found the experience enjoyable, particularly the friendly interactions with the staff and the beautiful beach access. However, the limited options at the restaurant and the swim-up bar not being functional detracted from the overall experience.
