Overall, we had a great stay at this resort, especially thanks to the fantastic recreation team, who brought so much joy to our afternoons. The view from our room was breathtaking, and the cleanliness of the hotel was commendable. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as they became a bit repetitive, and the staff seemed to follow a strict routine without personalizing our experience. This is a lovely property right on the beach, but expecting a more tailored service could be a letdown for some.

However, the service left much to be desired with certain staff showing a lack of concern for guests' issues.

My stay at this resort was overall enjoyable. The beach was stunning with soft sand and clear turquoise water, perfect for relaxation. The room was spacious and well-maintained, offering a full kitchen that was a great convenience. However, the service seemed to be lacking as I noticed some delays and miscommunications during my visit. Also, while the dining options were decent, they could use a bit more variety. Overall, the value for money was good, especially considering the great beach access and amenities.
