My stay at this resort spa was quite enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a perfect haven for relaxation. The service was attentive, but sometimes the response was a bit slow. The location was nice, offering a peaceful environment, though it wasn't walking distance to the main attractions. Dining was a highlight, especially the breakfast, which had a good variety of choices. Overall, it was a great experience but a few areas could use some improvement.

This resort spa offers a serene escape, featuring clean and comfortable rooms with modern amenities. The staff was welcoming, which added a nice touch to my stay. The location is peaceful yet convenient, although the dining options could use a bit more variety. The spa facilities are relaxing and well-maintained, but the Wi-Fi being an extra charge could be a downside for some.
