My stay at the resort spa was a mixed bag. The facilities were luxurious with a beautiful pool and spa area, which made for a relaxing retreat. The service was attentive and polite, making the overall experience pleasant. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, and the prices were on the higher side for what I received. While the room was comfortable, it felt a tad small for the price I paid.
