Delicious Buffets

I enjoyed the extensive options available at the buffet restaurant. There were various themed dinners every night, ensuring that there was always something new to try. The fresh seafood and attention to presentation were highlights for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the food variety, especially during lunch at the beach BBQ, which offered freshly grilled fish alongside a selection of salads.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I indulged myself by booking a massage at the onsite spa. The atmosphere was serene, and I really appreciated how relaxing the experience was. Although I felt a bit exposed when they didn't close the curtains, the treatment itself was fantastic, and I left feeling rejuvenated. It was worth every penny for the tranquil escape from everyday stress.

The bathroom facilities were impressive, with a spacious layout that included a modern shower design. I appreciated the cleanliness maintained throughout my stay. The water pressure was good, and it always felt refreshing to use after a long day in the sun. I also liked the touch of having toiletries readily available, making my stay even more comfortable.
