My stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, I was thrilled by the breathtaking views and the hospitality, but on the other, the room did not meet my expectations considering the price. While the infinity pool and the live music were highlights, I found the lack of cleanliness and available facilities disappointing. Overall, there's potential for a great experience, but improvements are needed to match the high rates.
