We have stayed here 4 times. Really like the beach area. Rooms could use more outlets- we brought an extender with additional outlets. Food is good no great, but could always find something good. Staff is friendly. Not aggressive with time share pitch. They will bring it up, but didn’t push when we declined.

Been to numerous resorts, this resort was 45 minutes to an hour from airport but the food alone was well worth the drive. The rooms are a bit dated but whatever for us. Loved all the wild life around the resort. Staff was extremely pleasant. Would recommend
