I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which was spacious and clean with a beautiful view overlooking the pools and outdoor bar. The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff throughout my stay. However, the dining could use improvement, especially with room service being a letdown both in timing and taste. Overall, it was a good experience, though the location was a bit far from the main attractions.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable.
