I had a delightful stay at the resort, where the ambiance really complemented the experience. The rooms were quite spacious and the afternoon turn-down service was a nice touch that made me feel pampered. However, the dining could use some improvement as cleanliness was an issue and there were flies around at times. Overall, the amenities were impressive, but the location might not be perfect for those looking for the ideal beach experience due to the nearby reefs.
