Perfect Pools!

During my stay, I absolutely loved the two saltwater pools at the resort. One was public and the other was exclusive for overnight guests, providing a peaceful atmosphere to relax and unwind. The water felt refreshing and the surroundings were beautifully landscaped, making it the ideal spot to spend a sunny afternoon.
