The resort is located in a beautiful setting where the river meets the sea, making for some stunning views. While our room was spacious and comfortable, the hotel itself feels a bit dated and could use some updates. The staff did their best to provide good service, but there were a few notable hiccups during our stay, especially in dining. Overall, it's a decent place with great potential if they enhance staff training and improve the dining experience.
