I had a nice stay at this resort with a few notable highlights and some hiccups. The resort is conveniently located by the beautiful beach and offers stunning ocean views. The rooms were clean, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. However, my initial room wasn't ready upon check-in, which was frustrating. Still, once I got settled into the right room, it was quite a comfortable stay with great amenities.

I had a solid stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful clean surroundings and the friendly atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable and offered great views, but a few minor issues with the service staff were a downside. However, the amenities like the bar and lazy river pool were definite highlights. Overall, it was a good value for a family trip, but just be mindful of the dining prices.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is located right by the beach. The staff at the front desk were quite helpful and made the check-in process smooth. Unfortunately, my dining experience didn't go as planned, and I had an incident with room service that affected my night. The pool area looked inviting, but my short stay meant I couldn't utilize it. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some clear pros and cons.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The resort has some great features, including clean and spacious rooms and a fantastic pool area. However, the service was lacking at times, particularly around the pool. Additionally, the dining options could be improved, especially for breakfast.

This resort spa is perfect for families looking for a fun getaway with kids, thanks to the relaxing pool area, including a lazy river. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, but there were a few hiccups during check-in and limited room service due to health protocols. The rooms were spotless, and the location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to various activities. However, there's a noticeable noise factor from the nearby air conditioning units.
