We had a fantastic time at the resort, and it was our fifth visit! The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff truly stood out. While we were not thrilled with the location of our room, especially the view, the service was impeccable, making up for some shortcomings in the dining experience. The food was decent but not exceptional, and the challenges with restaurant reservations left a bit of a sour taste, but overall, it was a memorable vacation.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On the positive side, the beach was beautiful and the suite we stayed in was clean and spacious, with a lovely balcony and whirlpool tub. However, the check-in process was unnecessarily long and frustrating, and I didn’t get the bed configuration I requested despite booking months in advance. Overall, while the food was decent, the drinks fell short of expectations, making this trip feel less enjoyable than it could have been.

I recently spent some time at the hotel, and it was quite a mixed experience.
