The resort spa is a lovely place for a getaway, with spacious and comfortable accommodations. I enjoyed the amenities and the beach view, although the air conditioning left something to be desired. Dining options are decent, but I wish the breakfast buffet had more variety. Overall, it provides good value for the price, but it's not without its drawbacks.
