I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with fantastic service and cleanliness throughout my visit. The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking, and the amenities made our experience enjoyable. However, it did get a bit noisy in certain areas, especially during the evenings. While the buffet had a wide range of options, some meals were inconsistent in quality. Overall, it was a solid choice for a fun getaway.
