I had a mixed experience at the resort. The location is truly wonderful with great views, and the property is spacious, but the management leaves much to be desired. While the rooms are well-appointed, I found the dining options, especially breakfast, could use significant improvement. Additionally, the spa services weren't up to par, which was disappointing for a resort setting.

I had an average experience at this resort. The grounds are expansive, including a well-maintained lawn and a clean swimming pool. The beach is a private getaway with stunning views, but the room quality left something to be desired, especially considering the price. The reception service was lacking, and the location is quite remote, so having your own vehicle is essential.

My stay at the resort was a mix of wonderful moments and some letdowns. On the positive side, I enjoyed the spacious rooms with stunning ocean views, and the buffet breakfast offered was absolutely delicious. However, the overall service left much to be desired, and the noisy atmosphere during my stay made it hard to relax. With some improvements, this could be a fantastic place for a getaway.

I chose this hotel for its beach proximity, and the location really does deliver, sitting right on the beach and away from the town's hustle. However, my experience was quite disappointing due to the poorly maintained rooms and questionable service. The dining options also left much to be desired, which was frustrating. Overall, while the setting is beautiful, the management has a lot to improve.
