I had a mixed experience at the resort spa. The location was stunning, right in front of the beach with amazing views, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. However, I found the service to be lacking at times, which was a bit disappointing. The dining options could also use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, it's a good option for a beach getaway, but there are some areas that could definitely be enhanced.
