The resort is visually stunning, resembling a botanical garden with beautifully maintained grounds. While the staff genuinely go the extra mile to make you feel special, I found the dining experience somewhat inconsistent, especially regarding menu variety. The luxurious feel of the property contrasts with a few areas needing improvement, particularly in room amenities and dining options.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the initial welcome was warm and the rooms appeared nice, the experiences soon took a downturn. The pool was dirty for our entire stay, staff were hard to find, and the dining options were limited and bland. On the bright side, management was apologetic and tried to address our concerns, but overall, the hotel felt neglected and in dire need of renovations.

Our stay at the resort was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed with lovely views of the sea, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The dining options, while generally good, could use some additional variety to keep things interesting. The facilities, especially the pool area, were excellent, but be prepared for some high dining costs that can add up quickly.

Our stay at the hotel was truly wonderful, marked by spacious and clean rooms, an impressive pool area, and exceptional service from the staff. We particularly enjoyed the delicious food and beautiful beachfront location. However, there were a couple of issues, including the presence of street dogs in certain areas and some seating challenges in the evening that detracted from the overall experience.
