The resort offers beautiful views, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing overall. We faced numerous issues during our stay that overshadowed the positives. While it had spacious accommodations, the maintenance and service left much to be desired, making it hard to enjoy the facilities and the overall experience. Our family had a tough time especially with the cleanliness and staff engagement.

I had a delightful stay at the resort, especially enjoying the beautiful surroundings filled with charming birds and the spacious accommodations. The dining options were quite good, but I felt the restaurant could use a refresh in terms of decor and atmosphere. Overall, while my experience had some highlights, the cleanliness and maintenance in certain areas left something to be desired.

The cottage we stayed in was conveniently located for the wedding, but it really needs some serious updating and cleaning. The carpets had heavy stains, and there were issues with insects and maintenance throughout.

The location is beautiful and offers lovely views, but the cleanliness around the resort impacted the overall feel. It's a shame because the setting has so much potential.
Dining

Dining options were mostly enjoyable; I particularly loved the breakfast by the jetty. However, the main restaurant had a strange vibe due to some wedding decor lingering around.

The resort had great facilities like pools and tennis courts, but some parts were not well-maintained or clean, which detracted from the experience.
