I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa. The rooms were spacious and equipped with all the necessary amenities, which made my time there quite pleasant. However, the dining options could use a bit more variety, especially when it comes to breakfast. While the pool area was nice, I found that it could get a little crowded at times. Overall, it provided good value for money, but make sure to arrive early if you want a spot by the pool.
