My stay at the resort was pleasant overall. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the service is exceptional with staff always ready to help. However, the dining experience could use some improvement as it lacked variety. The pool area is fantastic, and the amenities provided really enhance the experience. Overall, I felt it was good value for money, though some aspects were not quite perfect.
