I had a delightful stay at this resort spa, which was wonderfully serene and relaxing. The rooms were spacious and equipped with modern amenities-absolutely loved the separate shower feature. The service was attentive, yet I felt they could've been a bit more proactive. The location is perfect as it's close to major attractions, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, while the facilities were great, I was slightly underwhelmed by the dining options, which could use a bit of improvement.

I had a pretty nice stay overall at this resort. The rooms were spacious and packed with modern amenities, which made our family time enjoyable. The service was commendable but could improve in speed. I really appreciated the pool area for relaxation, but the dining experience didn't quite meet expectations due to limited choices for meals.
