I had a fantastic stay at this resort! The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a great wrap-around balcony, making it a cozy place to unwind. I was really impressed by how clean everything was, but I found that the dining options could use some improvement. The proximity to the beach and the lovely pool area made up for it, though. Overall, it was great value for money, but I wished there were more dining choices available.
