Dining at the resort is an experience not to be missed; gourmet cuisine is paired with signature cocktails within the open-air restaurant, where twinkling lights create an atmospheric backdrop after dark. For the ultimate relaxation, the spa promises rejuvenation through exquisite treatments that harmonize with nature.

pool access tasty breakfast poor soundproofing terrible smell
the room was a beautiful room pool access and it was nearby the pool. that was good. i also liked that the food at the restaurant was good and at a reasonable price. it was what i expected. also breakfast was very tasty. there were a lot of options to chose.
i got a room next to a water treatment facility, so sometimes it smelled terrible. the noise was constant too, it was too much. the soundproofing in the rooms are very poor. i reminded me of i was living in the same space with my neighbors. that was annoying.
