Our stay at the resort was filled with both enjoyable and frustrating moments. The stunning scenery and secluded vibe were highlights, making it a perfect getaway. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially with limited fish options and some mediocre meals. The service was excellent in many areas, but there were moments of inconsistency that made us feel less than valued as guests.
