I stayed at this resort and overall, it was quite a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I found the noise from the pool and kitchen a bit distracting. The service was a real highlight, with some staff members being incredibly welcoming. However, my dining experience left a lot to be desired, and I believe the dining area could use some efficiency improvements. For the price, it felt reasonable, but a few adjustments could definitely elevate the stay.

I had a decent stay overall. The rooms were spacious and right by the pool, but it did get a bit noisy at times.
