The property is beautiful and has everything you need within walking distance. All staff is super kind and helpful and all restaurants are delicious. The only downside was during checkout when they attempted to charge us for premium WiFi (around $250) and did charge us for the on demand movies when it states on their website it is included on the all inclusive plan.

The resort has great pool and snorkeling area. The 2 things disappointing are: 1, the kids club. It is super small. Like super small. So there is not attractive to kids and the activity and management is pool. 2. There are only 2 restaurants taking kids and one is far so we basically stay for one restaurant for the whole trip which is so sick to eat the same food over and over again. There are 5 restaurants but three of them are adult only. Which is not family friendly at all. I really think these two parts need to change
