My stay at the resort was absolutely memorable! The views from my room were simply stunning, with the calming sound of waves crashing against the cliffs creating a perfect atmosphere. The staff genuinely wanted to be helpful, and they even prepared delicious gluten-free and vegetarian meals for me. However, I did feel that the dining options could have been more varied, particularly at breakfast. The peaceful surroundings added an extra layer of tranquility to my experience, although reaching the beach took a bit of effort. Overall, a great spot, but with room for improvement in dining.
