The resort is a true oasis, boasting a stunning beachfront view and comfortable accommodations. The staff was not only friendly but also seemed genuinely invested in our enjoyment. While the dining options were decent, I wish there had been a bit more variety at breakfast. The pools were fabulous and well-kept, providing a perfect spot to unwind. Overall, good value for the price, but the Wi-Fi situation could be better since you have to pay separately for it.
