My stay at the resort spa was quite enjoyable overall! The views from my balcony overlooking the Gulf were nothing short of stunning, really adding to the experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and seemed genuinely invested in making sure our needs were met. I was also impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. On the downside, the dining options were somewhat limited when it came to breakfast, and I found the distance from the elevator to my room to be a bit inconvenient, especially when carrying bags.
