The resort boasts gorgeous grounds with beautiful plants and pools, creating a relaxing atmosphere for families and couples alike. While I loved the spacious and modern room, the low water pressure made showers challenging, and there were moments of unwanted noise. Dining options were varied, with some standout restaurants, but a few were disappointing. The staff were attentive and made sure to enhance my experience, though I encountered some aggressive vendors on site. Overall, I would happily return but hope for improvements in certain areas.
