Restaurant is AMAZING & Staff Soooo Great! Location great & room is calm & beautiful ambiance. As Americans, the hard key for room & pool were both difficult & annoying when you can't access without help?

Hey Chat, I wanna say something like, the resort is a two-minute walk from the, two-minute walk to the beach. It's actually an excellent resort. It's nice. The view is nice as well at nighttime. But if they can work on the breakfast situation to upgrade the breakfast better, to have a better breakfast, that would be, that would only be my concern. Hey Chat, I wanted to say the resort was excellent. Everything was nice. It's a two-minute walk from the beach. But the only thing that I have concern of is the breakfast. The breakfast is not all that. If they can upgrade the breakfast situation, have better food for the breakfast in the morning. Yeah, I see. Yeah, so the resort itself was really good, close to the beach, nice place, but the breakfast wasn't up to scratch. What was wrong with it? Was it the choice or the quality? What was going on? It is the choice. There was not so much options. It was like only peanut butter, bread, and a little fruits for the breakfast. I thought that would have been nice. Not a great breakfast. No hot options at all? Not so many options. It would have been better if there was breakfast with good scrambled eggs. We have a lot of options. If there was some options, that would be better. Yeah, yo
