I had a mix of experiences at this resort. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush greenery and just a short stroll to the beach where I enjoyed swimming. However, the rooms were quite hot without air conditioning, which made getting ready a bit of a challenge. The service was inconsistent—some staff members were friendly while others seemed a bit unfriendly. Dining was also underwhelming, with limited choices despite being at a luxurious setting.

Overall, my stay at the resort was a mixed experience. The location was superb, just a short drive from the nearest town with amazing local delicacies. The rooms were a bit far from the parking lot, which was inconvenient, especially in the heat. I appreciated the request for well-done scrambled eggs from the chef, but the service felt a bit stressed due to ongoing developments. The dining options could really use some variety to make it feel more luxurious. However, I did enjoy the well-maintained pool area.
