Staying at this resort was a mixed bag. The stunning beach really made the trip worthwhile, and the location was hard to beat. The architectural design of the hotel is appealing, but the rooms felt dated and needed some care. Additionally, while the service generally met expectations, the dining reservations were a hassle, making it tricky to enjoy all the offerings without prior planning.
