This resort really had it all! It’s beautiful and spacious. The staff are very friendly. There are so many options for dining all day long as well as activities and relaxation. We visited during winter which is off peak season. I expect if you go during the high tourist season it will be so busy

My family and I stayed at this resort last week and we were absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The property itself was breathtaking, beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax and unwind. Whether taking a walk trough its trails or enjoying the sunset, every corner of the resort felt like a slice of paradise. I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and serene getaway!

Apart from service the place is beautiful

Amazing hotel due to the servicies available! Lots to do! The breakfast choice is amazing but the service is not friendly. The hotel room is spacious and has many amenities but again staff not friendly. Room service is slow. It's a general attitude of some of the hotel staff. The building, the good quality furniture and the amenities are excellent. Still the bad service brings it down. I have had better services for less of the money I paid here.
