My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. While the location was stunning and the staff were not entirely unfriendly, I found the service to be lackluster, with several instances of poor communication and unprofessionalism. The facilities had their issues, particularly with cleanliness and the dining experience could certainly use improvement, especially in terms of food availability.

We had a wonderful time at this resort, enjoying the great beach location and spacious rooms. While the dining options were a letdown with poor food quality, the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodation made up for it. The service could use some improvements, especially in the restaurants where the staff seemed overwhelmed. Overall, it was a good experience but definitely not the luxury we expected.

I had a fantastic two-week stay at the resort, fully immersing myself in relaxation and enjoyment. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering beautiful views of the beach and pool. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making my experience even more enjoyable. While the dining options were plentiful, some areas, like the buffet, could be cooler. The beach was lovely, but there were some rocky areas to watch out for. Overall, great value for the price, and I can't wait to return!
