The steakhouse was so good that we ended up going there twice, with generous portions that left us satisfied every time. One of the highlights was trying Pepe's fries, which were absolutely delicious!” view full review

I had a lovely stay at this resort, with clean and comfortable rooms that made me feel right at home. The staff was warm and welcoming, which enhanced my experience. However, I was a bit underwhelmed by the limited options at breakfast. The pool area was fantastic for relaxing after a day of exploring, and while the pricing was fair, I wish that the Wi-Fi was complimentary rather than an extra charge.
