Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. My complaints are only based around shade. There are never enough umbrellas available at the pool and the smoking area didn’t have a cover which made it impossible not to bake in the sun or be covered when it rained. I did love the easy access to the beach and the pool bar was great. The resort even provides some tubes for the lazy river which is much smaller than the pictures make it look, but still fun and relaxing. I would recommend staying here for sure as most don’t smoke and some love the sun!

Location and beach were perfect! Rooms were decent, comfortable beds. Breakfast was fine, but short on staff and out of clean plates 2 of the 3 mornings that we went to the buffet. Only 1 ice machine working while there. Both washing machines out of order and only 1 dryer that worked, that I could hear from my hotel room when running.
