We had a lovely week at the hotel! The resort offered great value with a clean and spacious room, and the beach was decent despite some seaweed issues. The staff were amazing and the food was tasty, but the dining choices could have been more varied, and weekends were quite busy with local guests. Overall, a pretty good getaway.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable adult superior room that offered access to a quieter private pool area. The friendly staff were attentive and always checking on us. However, I was a bit disappointed with the beach water quality and the lack of on-site medical assistance when I faced an issue. The entertainment was nice, but the dining options could have had more variety.

This resort has a beautiful beach and some great dining options, but it definitely falls short of the 5-star experience advertised. The rooms have issues with cleanliness and maintenance, which detracted from the overall comfort of our stay. While there are energetic entertainment options and some excellent staff members like at the coffee shop, the service can be inconsistent, especially with communication. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there's room for improvement.

While the dining options had their highlights, they could definitely use some improvement.

Overall, this resort offers a great value for a family getaway, especially with spacious rooms and a clean environment.
