I had a pretty good time at the resort overall, with spacious rooms and a serene atmosphere surrounded by nature. However, I noticed some downsides such as slow service at restaurants and a lack of evening activities after 11:00 PM. While the location is beautiful, the beach had issues with seaweed, which detracted from my experience. I wouldn't say it's the perfect getaway, but there are definitely enjoyable aspects.
