I had a lovely stay at the resort spa, where the atmosphere was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The amenities were great, and I really appreciated the cleanliness throughout the property. The onsite restaurant offered some decent meals, though breakfast could use a wider selection. While the pool area was fantastic, the location wasn't very central, which was a bit inconvenient for exploring nearby attractions.

I had a relaxing stay at the hotel, where the atmosphere was peaceful and the staff genuinely cared about making my experience enjoyable. The spa facilities were top-notch and provided some much-needed pampering. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially for dinner, and the rooms, though spacious, felt a bit dated. Overall, it was still a good value for money considering the amenities available.
