I had a wonderful stay at the resort, surrounded by breathtaking nature and a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable space for relaxation. The dining experience was exceptional, though I wished there were more local dishes on the menu. The service was excellent with prompt attention, but a few improvements in the availability of activities could be beneficial. Overall, the experience was rejuvenating and definitely worth the visit.

The resort offers stunning views and a peaceful ambiance that makes it a great getaway. While the rooms are large and comfortable, I expected a bit more from a 'villa' experience.
