I had a lovely stay at this resort spa which is perfectly situated right on the beach. The rooms were modern and spotless, providing a comfortable retreat. The dining was quite good, though some more variety at breakfast would have been nice. The amenities were plentiful, and the spa services truly elevated the experience. While the pricing was reasonable for what we got, the Wi-Fi being an added cost was a bit frustrating.

This resort spa provided a relaxing experience with clean and comfortable accommodations. The location, right by the beach, offered spectacular views, and the amenities like the pool were great for unwinding. However, I found the breakfast options to be quite limited, which was a bummer. Overall, it felt like good value for the price, but improvements could be made in the dining area.
