This resort was an excellent choice for our family getaway, providing a clean and comfortable environment. Our room was spacious, and while there was some road noise, it didn't detract much from our stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. However, the air conditioning struggled a bit during the heat, which was an issue on hot days. Overall, it’s a good value for money, and we’d definitely consider returning.
