I found the resort to be a great place for relaxation, with clean and spacious rooms that were really comfortable. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, making the stay feel special. However, the dining options could benefit from some improvements, particularly during lunch, and the location is a bit isolated without much within walking distance. Overall, it's a solid choice for a quiet getaway.
