My stay at the hotel was truly remarkable, marked by exceptional service and luxurious amenities. I particularly enjoyed the private pool in my room, making it a perfect retreat after a day by the beach. Although the dining options were varied and the gourmet meals were delightful, I felt that some selections could have been more frequently available. The breathtaking sea views were an absolute highlight, but the surrounding area was a bit windy at times, which could detract from outdoor enjoyment.
