My stay at this resort was a bit of a mixed bag. The pools were absolutely delightful, with varying sizes and temperatures, making them a perfect retreat. The spa was a highlight, offering a fantastic experience. However, the dining was hit or miss, especially at dinner, and while the room was comfortable, it showed signs of wear and tear, which felt a bit disappointing for the price.

The resort offers a solid experience with lovely amenities like various pools and a well-equipped spa. The dining has a wide range of choices, although some breakfast options could be improved. While the rooms are clean and modern, the location is somewhat remote, which might be a downside for those looking to explore more easily.
