My stay at the resort spa was absolutely incredible! The serene natural surroundings and the luxurious spa treatments made for a rejuvenating experience. The food was exceptional, particularly the breakfasts that kept me energized throughout the day. While I loved the unique architectural charm, the location is quite secluded which may not be ideal for those wanting immediate access to bustling areas. Overall, a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend.
