During my stay at this resort, I appreciated the charming old-world Spanish vibe and the beautiful beachfront. The clean and spacious rooms were a definite plus, and the amenities like the pools and gardens were enjoyable. However, I faced issues with inconsistent water temperature during showers and some lack of variety in the dining options. Overall, it's a good choice for a relaxing family getaway, but food labels would help improve the dining experience.
