Really good Culinary Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of enjoying both lunch and dinner at the resort. The food was excellent, from the delicious lunch I had on the lawn to the fantastic dinner where my boyfriend requested a special dish not on the menu, and the chef readily accommodated him. The quality of the meals exceeded my expectations and truly highlighted the culinary skills on offer.” view full review

Cozy and Comfortable Rooms

I also appreciated the privacy offered by the housekeeping rooms on either side.

The water was warm and clear, perfect for swimming or simply enjoying the serene views.

Charming Atmosphere

“The atmosphere at the resort contributed greatly to my relaxation.
