I had a lovely time at this resort, with spacious and beautifully decorated rooms that provided a comfortable stay. The beach was immaculate, without any trash in sight, which made relaxing by the shoreline enjoyable. The only downside was the restaurant, where the food didn't quite match the high prices. However, the breakfast buffet offered plenty of options, making up for some of the dining shortcomings.
