I recently stayed at this spa hotel and it was a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic, right next to the beach, the rooms left a bit to be desired when it came to ventilation. The service was generally friendly, but I did have a frustrating experience with the airport pick-up. The dining was decent but got a little repetitive. Overall, it has potential but certainly needs some improvements.
