Our stay at this resort was a truly memorable experience, with beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and welcoming staff. The views and gardens were breathtaking, and the meals were delicious. However, if you don’t have a vehicle, it might feel a bit isolated, and the dining might be pricier than expected for some meals.
