My stay at the resort was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, close to all the local attractions, the feel of the place was somewhat lacking. The rooms were spacious and clean, but there was nothing that made them feel special. I appreciated the views from my room, but some amenities were underwhelming and could certainly use improvement.

There were some facilities available, but they were not as well-maintained as I expected, particularly with the pool area, which was closed during our visit.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The view from my room was stunning and the pool area was definitely a highlight. However, the renovations were quite disruptive and the Wi-Fi was a constant struggle. For a resort spa, it seems to have potential but definitely needs improvements in several areas.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had a lovely view, but it felt quite dated and in need of an update. There was a noticeable smell of old carpet, and it felt as though the space hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in some time.
Service

The service was a bit hit or miss. While the reception staff were polite and tried to address my concerns, it was frustrating to hear that they were aware of the ongoing renovation noise but couldn't do much about it.
Location

The location is great, with beautiful views from higher floors, but being close to the bowling club meant that some evenings got quite noisy. It's a bit of a trek to get to the beach without a car as well.
Dining

I didn't get a chance to try the on-site dining because it seemed catering more to larger groups, and I preferred exploring nearby options instead.

The pool area was nice, with updated decking and loungers, making it enjoyable for a refreshing swim. However, the lack of proper Wi-Fi is a real downside.

We had a lovely weekend stay at this resort, enjoying the clean and comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a generous balcony that offered a stunning view. The swimming pool was a highlight, and its proximity to town made it easy to explore cafes and restaurants. However, the pillows in the two-bedroom unit were quite disappointing, and the Wi-Fi could use an improvement.

The swimming pool was enjoyable, but I found the presence of inflatable toys a bit overwhelming since it made the space crowded.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, where I really enjoyed the serene atmosphere and the beautiful views of nature, especially with the parrots visiting in the morning! The one-bedroom apartment I stayed in was spacious and equipped with a spa tub, which was perfect for unwinding after a day of activities. However, the pool was a bit too cold for a comfortable swim during my stay, and the dining options were somewhat limited.

I recently stayed at the hotel and here's what I thought. The location is fabulous, really close to the marina and restaurants, providing a stunning view from my room. However, I found my room in need of some serious maintenance, and the housekeeping seemed a bit lackluster. On the bright side, the pool area was great for relaxation, but the Wi-Fi was frustratingly unreliable. Overall, it's a decent option if you're not too picky about room conditions, especially given the prime location.
