Amazing hotel the staff were always very smiley and super helpful. They were the highlight of the stay. The complex felt super safe. We used every pool and the beach area for relaxing. We also had the chance to book the restaurants in the hotel which all offered something different but were all great quality.

Had a great time-beautiful views, excellent service, great food options. The only problem was the construction site that was very noisy mainly in the mornings when you wanted to sleep in.......so we had to upgrade (pay more) to be moved to a different side.Otherwise everything else was GREAT!!!!

All restaurants needs reservations three days ahead. Meaning you only eat at buffet if you don’t have reservations. Weird closing times. It was times nothing was open in the middle of the day . I think this place need more OPEN food choices
