Our stay at the resort had its highs and lows. The facilities, especially the kids' club, were fantastic, and my children had a great time. However, the dining options left much to be desired, with limited variety and some quality issues. The room we received was quite small and not in the best condition. Overall, while the atmosphere was pleasant, the inconsistencies in service and dining really impacted my experience.

The resort area is spacious and inviting, with a car-free environment that’s ideal for families. However, the industrial area on the opposite side detracted from the overall scenic beauty.
