I had a lovely stay at this resort, which offered a relaxing atmosphere and a fantastic pool area. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. While the staff was generally friendly, the dining options could use some improvement. Also, it's great value for money, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of air conditioning in common areas.
