My stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful. The beach was pristine with stunning views, and the recently refurbished rooms were both clean and modern, making my mornings truly special. The staff treated us like family but the dining could use a bit of a revamp to elevate the experience further. While the breakfast was plentiful, I felt the lunch and dinner options didn't match the hotel's overall quality. Still, this was a fantastic getaway.
