Our stay at the resort was generally enjoyable with spacious accommodations and a beautiful beach area. The family pool was great, although the dining options were quite limited, particularly lacking breakfast. The overall vibe was peaceful, and the sunset views were stunning. However, the small second bedroom may not work well for two couples traveling together.
