We stayed one night but it was great! We are staying at a villa nearby and kid the daily resort fee to enjoy the nice amenities! Very nice. Would love to come back again

Very nice and attentive staff. Rooms are clean and It’s quiet so you can get a good nights sleep. The swimming pool is big but shallow (Id say around a meter deep).
