Overall, the resort offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. The views of the ocean are breathtaking, and the themed meals provide variety, though the dining experience could use improvement regarding food quality. The rooms are generally clean, but some aspects, like the maintenance and location, could be challenging for certain guests. The shuttle service is convenient but not as reliable as expected for navigating the steep hills.
