Amazing Dinner Experience

I was invited by friends to join them for dinner at Romeos Restaurant at Marina Resort, and it was the best decision ever! The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and the entire meal was the best I’ve had since moving here. The atmosphere was charming, and the views over the marina made it even more special.

Refreshing Pool Area

I didn't have long to enjoy the pool, but I can tell it's a fabulous area for relaxation. The surrounding views are stunning, and I loved that it was well-maintained. I look forward to spending more time here on my next visit!

Great Dining Experience

We dined at the resort's restaurant and enjoyed a three-course meal for a very reasonable price. The menu had great variety, and I opted for the filet mignon, which was simply excellent. The dining experience was elevated by the beautiful marina views!

I enjoyed my stay at the Marina resort—it was a pleasant experience overall. The room offered a stunning view and was spacious, making it comfortable for our short getaway. I appreciated how close we were to the village, which made it easy to explore on foot. However, the spa was out of service during our visit, and I found the fridge a bit underwhelming as it didn't cool properly. Despite these few downsides, I would definitely recommend this place for its value and ambiance.
