really good stay

sonos speakers luxury toiletries spacious balcony

the room had everything needed for very nice comfort, including sonos speakers and luxury toiletries. the bed allowed for a restful sleep with amazing blackout blinds. the room and balcony area were very spacious, i spent much time relaxing there. the resort is well laid out and compact yet feels spacious. the décor is excellent.

i found the service slow! the staff did not seem to provide adequate attention, probably due to understaffing, and i saw little management presence.

The breakfast buffet made me want to get out of bed. The selection and quality of food seemed superb. a poolside bar offered a range of refreshments and snacks, the choice was great! different touches each day included an a la carte selection available to order by app.
