My stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful! The location is blissfully isolated right on the beach, and the views are simply breathtaking. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing a fantastic place to unwind. While the dining was delightful, the experience had its moments with some inconsistencies. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience feel personal and warm. Overall, this resort offers good value for a tranquil getaway, but there's room for improvement in dining consistency.
