Many thanks to Tamassa Resort for a wonderful weekend! The food was delicious and specially the pastries! Big thank you to Chef Jean Edinho who was one of the kindest and friendliest person I’ve ever met! If you haven’t tried his pastries yet (the croissant haha), I would definitely advise you to when you go to Tamassa Resort!
