I recently stayed at the Side La Grande Resort & Spa and had a wonderful time. The hotel boasts a fantastic array of amenities and dining options, offering something for everyone. My family and I enjoyed the spacious rooms and the engaging entertainment provided by the animation team. However, our experience was marred by a few issues, including initial check-in problems and a somewhat underwhelming disco. Overall, it was a great holiday experience, but improvements are needed in some areas.
