My stay at this resort had its highs and lows. The rooms were clean and spacious, and having direct access to the beach was a huge plus. However, the nighttime atmosphere felt quite dull with limited entertainment options. The service was generally very good, with staff always ready to help. Although the dining options were plentiful, some dishes were quite pricey. Overall, it’s a nice getaway, but it could use some improvements in evening options and dining value.
