Staying at this resort spa was an overall enjoyable experience. The beach access was fantastic, just a few steps away from the hotel, and the cleanliness of the entire resort was impressive. The pool area was well-maintained and warm, perfect for a relaxing swim. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited and could use improvement. The combination of these factors made my visit worthwhile, despite a few minor drawbacks.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the direct access to the beach and the excellent breakfast options. The rooms were very clean and I loved the comfortable pillows. However, some room sizes felt a bit cramped for my taste, and the Wi-Fi had to be paid for separately, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a delightful experience with just a couple of minor downsides.
