During my recent stay, I found the resort to have a lot of potential but it really feels like it's in need of some serious TLC. The surroundings were beautiful and the environment has promise, but the experience fell short especially with the unfinished areas and disappointing dining options. The owner seemed indifferent, which made the visit less enjoyable than I had hoped.

I had high hopes for this resort given its potential, but I left feeling quite disappointed. The area is nice and the rooms are lovely in their simplicity, but the overall experience was overshadowed by a lack of attention and care from management.

I had high hopes for this resort based on its potential, but unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. While the rooms were basic yet lovely, the overall atmosphere lacked a warm touch, likely due to ongoing construction. The service didn't quite match the hospitality you'd expect, and the dining experience left a lot to be desired. On the positive side, the area is beautiful and the hotel does have potential, but it really needs some tender love and care to bring it to life.
