8.6/10

This resort spa provided a relaxing getaway with clean, cozy rooms and a tranquil atmosphere. The staff was accommodating and attentive to all my needs, enhancing my experience. Even though the dining options were limited, the quality was good overall. The pool area was a highlight, but it could get crowded at times. While the pricing was fair, I found Wi-Fi to be an additional cost, which was a bit of a letdown.
