I had a lovely stay at this resort spa. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a great level of comfort that I appreciated. The staff was charming and attentive, which added to the overall experience. Still, the breakfast could use a bit of variety, and I felt the pool area, while nice, could have been cleaner. Overall, it was a great value for my money, and I'm glad I chose to spend my time here.
