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.

I had a lovely time at this resort, which is beautifully laid out with plenty of green space, pools, and relaxing areas. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. However, the hotel's location on the highway made it difficult to find dining options nearby, unless you have your own transportation. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, especially if you want to enjoy the pools and a bit of tranquility.
