I had a really relaxing stay at this resort, which is perfectly located right by the beach. My room was comfortable, but I noticed a few cleanliness issues that could use attention. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant, and there were some nice amenities, although the dining options left me wanting more variety. Overall, a decent spot for a getaway, but there's room for improvement.

I recently stayed at the resort, and while it had some nice aspects, there were quite a few downsides. The location was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views that made my morning coffee even better. However, the state of the rooms was disappointing; I noticed spider webs and cleanliness issues. The service was decent and the staff seemed friendly, but I had some unfortunate encounters that really affected my experience. Overall, it was beautiful but not without its problems.

Overall, it wasn't the worst experience, but I did expect more from a resort.
