The hotel offers a relaxing atmosphere with clean, comfortable rooms and a welcoming vibe. I loved the pool area, which was nicely maintained, making it a great spot to unwind. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired due to limited breakfast options. Overall, the location was perfect for accessing the beach, but the Wi-Fi being paid was a slight downside.

My stay at the resort spa was overall enjoyable, with a tranquil atmosphere and nice amenities. The rooms were spacious and clean, but there were moments when the air conditioning wasn't as effective as I hoped. The location was wonderful, nestled near the beach, but the dining options could use some variety. The pool area was a highlight, offering a relaxing spot to unwind after a busy day.
