My experience at the resort was delightful, with cozy and beautiful rooms that felt like a home away from home. The staff welcomed us warmly, and their attentiveness made us feel truly special. However, we did have a little hiccup with the initial room due to its cold pool and lack of windows, which wasn't ideal. The dining options were excellent, and the variety truly impressed me.
