My stay at this resort was a beautiful surprise, offering an exquisite experience overall. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, and the food is fantastic, particularly the breakfast with stunning views. However, the pool can feel a bit crowded, especially with the diving lessons and the snorkelling bookings favoring divers first. Despite these minor hitches, I truly appreciated my time here and can't wait to return.
