Spacious Luxury

The room we stayed in was impressively spacious with luxurious amenities that made our stay truly comfortable. The large bathroom featured a rainfall showerhead that was both refreshing and relaxing after a long day. I loved having so much room to unwind and truly enjoy my vacation.

Culinary Delight

Dining at Amaya was an experience in itself. The lobster soup was a standout dish, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Each meal we had there felt special, making it a highlight of our stay.

Golf Course Gem

The on-site golf course was a true gem! Each hole was meticulously maintained and offered unique challenges. I had an really good round of golf, thanks to my knowledgeable caddy who provided insightful tips throughout the game.

My experience at this elegant resort was truly remarkable! The luxurious and spacious rooms were a highlight, complemented by the attentive staff who genuinely made our stay exceptional. I appreciated the extensive amenities available, from the relaxing spa to engaging family activities. However, the location is somewhat remote, making it a bit of a challenge to explore nearby attractions, and while the dining was generally good, there is room for improvement in menu variety.
