I really enjoyed my stay at this resort spa. The location on the bay offered incredible views, making our mornings feel special. The rooms were spacious and spotless, perfect for a family with kids. The dining was satisfactory, with varied breakfast options that kept us fueled for the day. Unfortunately, the dining experience was not as great for dinner, as the selection felt a bit limited. Overall, this hotel provided excellent value for the money, combining comfort with a peaceful atmosphere.

I had a nice four-day stay at this hotel, sitting a bit far from the airport but offering beautiful views and decent amenities. My room was modern and clean, although the beds were a bit on the cheap side. The dining options were good, with a variety of selections, but the buffet didn't always meet expectations. Overall, while I enjoyed my stay, next time I might opt for a more central location on the island to avoid long bus rides.
