I had a relaxing stay at this resort, which boasted a beautiful beach view and clean, modern rooms. The staff were incredibly accommodating and made my experience even better. However, the dining options, especially for breakfast, could really use some variety. Overall, it offered good value for money, but I found the Wi-Fi to be a bit of a hassle as it wasn’t complimentary.
