“The resort excels as a family destination, thoughtfully catering to the needs of even the littlest guests, plus, the sprawling grounds invite exploration with fairy gardens and walking trails. While the dining mostly hits the mark, the spa experience could use refinement to match the luxury of the rest of the property; still, its location between the mountains and the sea makes it an excellent escape.”
