Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! The room was spacious and offered a stunning view of the sea, although it lacked soundproofing which made it a tad noisy at times. The staff were incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. While the dining experience was good, it didn’t fully meet the high standards we expected from a five-star resort, with breakfast options being somewhat limited. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway, but I believe there’s room for improvement in the dining variety.
