Overall, the hotel has a beautiful property with clean, airy vibes, and ample space in the beach area to relax. However, the inconsistent service regarding housekeeping and dining leaves room for improvement. The atmosphere is elegant, but some amenities didn't meet expectations given the price point, particularly regarding the food quality and room maintenance.

Overall, the hotel had a nice stay, especially for a week or so, with a great beach vibe and a spacious room that offered a wonderful view. However, as the stay went longer, I encountered several issues, particularly with service inconsistencies and dining experiences that sometimes fell short. It's a nice place but might not be ideal for longer visits due to these concerns.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, which was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were incredible, boasting a spacious design and great amenities. However, the dining options were somewhat hit or miss, and I think they could improve the flavor and seasoning of the food. The staff were genuinely amazing, providing excellent service throughout my stay, but I did find the bathroom layout somewhat peculiar and lacking privacy.
