I had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the spacious rooms and the impressive tennis facilities. The property is well-kept, and the large pool was definitely a highlight. However, the restaurant hours could be inconvenient for those wanting later meals, and some rooms may require maintenance updates. Overall, it provides great value for money, especially for tennis enthusiasts.
