Really good Culinary Experience

Dining at Lucia was a highlight of my stay. The meals were beautifully prepared, and each dish was bursting with flavor. I can’t recommend the filet enough – it was the best I've had in years! The service was attentive, making every meal nice.

My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! From the moment I arrived, I felt like royalty with the warm welcome from the staff and the complimentary wine. The facilities were pristine, and the meals at the restaurant were simply outstanding, especially the locally sourced dishes. However, I did find the beds a bit too soft for my liking, and I encountered some late-night noise from neighboring guests. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to relax in beautiful surroundings.

My stay at the resort was overall excellent. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly and felt deeply relaxed throughout my four days. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the rooms were well-appointed and super comfortable. The only downside was the sometimes inconsistent service at the front desk and poolside, which didn't match the luxurious ambiance of the hotel. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place for a tranquil getaway.

The grounds are impeccably maintained with an array of great amenities, and the dining options are simply exceptional.

While the rooms were a bit on the pricier side, the overall experience felt well worth the splurge.
