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.

I had a pleasant stay at the resort spa, where the rooms offered a clean and comfortable experience, and the beachfront location was absolutely stunning. However, I found the dining options to be fairly limited, and while the facilities were nice, they could use some updates. Overall, it was a decent value for money, although the Wi-Fi situation wasn't ideal, being an additional charge.
