I had a pleasant stay at this resort spa, with clean and spacious rooms that matched the pictures. The service was accommodating, especially when they helped me with some translation issues. The location right on Rua Beach was stunning. However, the dining experience during breakfast was not as diverse as I hoped, and the Wi-Fi situation could have been better. Overall, it felt like good value for money, but there's room for improvement.

I really enjoyed my stay at this resort spa. The rooms were simple and comfortable, just like in the pictures, and the location right on the stunning Rua Beach was absolutely breathtaking. However, the service needs some improvement, as there were times when basic hospitality wasn't met. The dining options were limited, especially at breakfast, which was a bit disappointing for the price I paid.

I had a lovely stay at this resort spa, with clean and comfortable rooms that matched the pictures perfectly. The view from the balcony was delightful, and the location right on Rua Beach made for a fantastic beach experience.
