I had a lovely time at this resort spa! The serene environment truly allowed me to unwind, with clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff was attentive and made my stay memorable. However, I felt the dining options could benefit from more variety, particularly at breakfast. Additionally, while the spa facilities were incredible, the prices for treatments were a bit steep for my budget.
