Just what I needed. Lived how everything I wanted for my vacation was right at the resort. All of the staff were welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Im glad they offered the all-inclusive meal plan add on. The food was delicious for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was highly impressed!!! The beach and the water was so relaxing and refreshing and at night the frogs "sang" in a melodic tune all night just if if you were being serenaded. I would stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is my second time at this resort and I noted that they have made major additions during COVID. The location of this resort is excellent for an active traveller as you can easily jump on the bus in both directions. We even took the bus from the airport but it is only possible with small carry-ons. The food is great, the water is beautiful and you get access to their private cave where you can swim, often with very few others around.

The lobby bar should be open at 1100am until late for those people that don’t want to sit outside in the heat at a noisy pool bar. Drinks in the main lobby bar were very cold while the pool bar and upstairs outside are were warm.
