I had a generally enjoyable stay at this resort spa, with clean and modern rooms that were quite spacious. The amenities, including the pool area, were lovely, but I found the dining options could use improvement, particularly at breakfast. The staff was accommodating, which helped enhance the experience, but the location, while nice, was a bit further from the beach than I expected.
