Fodor's Review:

If you seek seclusion, peace, and tranquillity in a Zen-like atmosphere, this is your place. All accommodations are in pavilions, which are simply furnished with an Asian minimalist flair yet have such luxuries as TVs, DVD players, and surround-sound systems. A movie room and well-stocked library are among the few entertainment options, but small touches, such as a shoe rack at the beach and huggers to keep your bottled water cool, are welcome. No need to sign for anything here—the staff will always remember you by name. When it comes to dining, expect an Asian-influenced menu and very high prices. One thing is for certain; it's a long, pricey ride to other restaurants, not to mention other excursions. This is a place to come if you are looking for peace and quiet in a remote location on a stunning beach. There is construction on-site, but you can't see it from the beach. A unique feature is that rates include the minibar (except spirits) and all long-distance phone calls. Pros: on one of the best beaches on Provo; resort is quiet and secluded. Cons: isolated; far from restaurants, excursions, and other beaches.

The Fodors review pretty much says it all. Lovely beach, fantastic service, amazing, secluded pavilions. Food is interesting, varied, and generally well prepared. Very, very pricey, and you're captive at the resort. Fortunately, when we booked for a minimum stay (3 or 4 nights ?) they threw in the full meal plan. Common areas are stunning, and the infinity pool was gorgeous. No one ever asked for our name or room number. They knew who we were. Use of hobies, kayaks, and snorkle equipment at no charge. A hefty price tag, but there are a lot of unexpected extas - such as free beer and soft drinks from the fridge, great room ammenities, complimentary bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Free daily snorkle trips from the beach.

It almost seemed like there were only about 20 people staying at the resort.

It's not cheap, but if you love beauty, peace and quiet, seclusion and fabulous service, you may never want to go any place else.
