“The Cloister excels with its unique heritage architecture, reminiscent of a 17th-century monastery, setting it apart from typical beachfront resorts. I'm impressed by the commitment to luxury, seen in everything from the Forbes Five-Star spa to the BMW test drives available for guests. It strikes me as a particularly good choice for families, with its diverse activities and expansive butterfly population adding a touch of wonder.”
