My stay at this resort was a delightful experience with clean and comfortable rooms that offered stunning views. The beach location was absolutely idyllic, perfect for relaxation. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement, and the Wi-Fi was an additional cost which I found a bit frustrating. Overall, it was great value for money, especially with the well-maintained pool area.
