I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, marked by stunning views and spacious accommodations. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and the attention to dietary restrictions was impressive. However, my dining experience did not quite meet my expectations, and I encountered some cleanliness issues at the pool. Overall, it's a beautiful and serene place, but there's some room for improvement in certain areas.
