This is a very large resort. Lots of walking if you donā€™t want to wait for the shuttles. Food is really good at the buffet Ala carts and snack bars. The downside is there are not enough pool and beach chairs. People get up at 6 am to get chairs for others that show up around 9. The bars are great, but be prepared for strong drinks. Overall we still enjoyed our stay, the room was great, lots of hot water and friendly cleaning staff.
