Despite occasional minor complaints, the breakfast service remains a highlight for many guests.
The dinner experience, however, elicits more varied feedback.

A preference for greater consistency and better value for money in the dinner service is noted.

However, several reviews indicate that some rooms and facilities are dated and in need of renovation with mentions of worn-out furniture and outdated decor. Comfort and stunning vistas are definite strong points but enhancing maintenance and modernization efforts would align the experience more closely with the resort's 5-star rating.
