8.2/10

My stay at the resort spa was quite relaxing overall. The spa facilities were top-notch, providing a truly rejuvenating experience. The rooms were modern and spacious, making for a comfortable retreat. However, the dining options weren't as varied as I'd hoped, which was a bit disappointing. The pool area was beautiful and well-maintained, but some amenities could use a bit more attention. The cost felt reasonable for the quality provided, though some extra charges for treatments did add up.
