I had a lovely experience at Rumors! The staff really made us feel special, especially since we were celebrating our honeymoon. The food and drinks were top-notch, and the pool was a fun place to socialize. However, it was a bit sad to leave all my new friends behind, and I definitely wished the bar area wasn't so crowded some nights.

My stay at Rumors Resort was filled with wonderful experiences. The service was truly exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location is stunning, surrounded by picturesque landscapes and close to various attractions. However, the pool area became quite crowded, which was disappointing, and the room view wasn't as expected. Luckily, the overall value for money was still good despite these minor setbacks.
