The hotel has some beautiful features and the staff really goes above and beyond in terms of service. However, the rooms definitely need some updating, as they have a musty smell that was hard to ignore. Additionally, while there were nice dining options, the lack of variety made it somewhat repetitive. The distance from the beach is also a consideration for those looking to stay closer to the water.

The rooms were not up to par and definitely need to be redone. There was a strong mildew smell that made my stay uncomfortable, and it was clear they are aware of this issue and are working on improvements.

My stay at the resort spa was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, which made for a pleasant stay. The pool area was delightful and offered a great atmosphere for relaxation. However, I did experience some issues like an unpleasant mildew smell that lingered, and the service could use some improvement in terms of attentiveness. Overall, while I enjoyed certain aspects, there are definitely areas that need attention.

I had a great experience at this resort spa, especially with the stunning ocean view right from my room. The room itself wasn't perfect and needed some updates, but the resort is actively working on that. The service was mostly excellent, though a bit pushy at times when it came to signing up for additional experiences. The location was just perfect for getting to the beautiful beach, making it easy to enjoy the sunsets. While the dining options left something to be desired with repetitive food, I appreciated the casual vibe of the outdoor restaurant.

I had a lovely stay at this resort spa, where the rooms were beautifully decorated for our anniversary, which was such a sweet surprise. Despite some minor issues like the hot water being off the first night and the rooms showing their age, they were still clean and comfortable. The service was truly exceptional, and I enjoyed the varied dining options. Overall, it's a good value for money, especially with the charming amenities, but the room updates could use some attention.

On the other hand, I found the service to be quite lacking, with a few interactions that felt unfriendly. I did appreciate the dining options, especially in the adults-only section, though the distance from my room to the beach was a bit annoying. Overall, it had its charm, but there were definitely some drawbacks.
