I had a lovely stay at this resort with its beautiful grounds and clean facilities. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making the experience enjoyable. However, the dining options, particularly at the specialty restaurants, could use improvement, and the crowded beach was a downside. Overall, it's a solid choice for a vacation.
