My stay at the resort had its highs and lows. While the facilities, including the spa and health club, were outstanding, the rooms left a lot to be desired due to cleanliness issues and lack of proper ventilation. The location was decent, although a construction site obstructed the view from my room. The dining experience was enjoyable but could have been better with more options for breakfast.

The hotel has a beautiful spa area that offers a variety of relaxing treatments and facilities, providing a great escape. However, there were issues with cleanliness in the changing areas and some service lapses that affected the overall experience.
