My stay at the resort was quite relaxing, nestled in a serene forest setting, perfect for outdoor activities. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. However, the dining options could use some improvement as I expected more variety for breakfast. The facilities were top-notch, particularly the large pool area, which was a nice spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, while I appreciated the value for money, it would have been nice if breakfast had more options to choose from.
