My stay at the resort was quite relaxing overall. The spa services were truly a highlight, offering a serene escape. I appreciated the clean and spacious rooms, which added to the comfort of my visit. However, I found the dining options during breakfast a bit lacking, and while the pool was lovely, it could have been larger. Overall, it felt like a good value for a spa retreat, but there's room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa! The facilities are top-notch, especially the luxurious pool area, and the spa treatments were simply divine. My room was spacious and very clean, which made for a comfortable retreat. I did find the dining options a bit short on variety, especially for breakfast, but overall, the experience was fantastic and worth the price. Just keep in mind that Wi-Fi isn't included, which can be a bit of a hassle.
