I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was beautiful, with nature surrounding the property and easy access to the beach. The rooms were quiet and clean, which I appreciated, but I had some issues with the service that left a sour taste. The dining was decent but there were some unexpected sales pitches that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it's a good value for the money, but there are definitely areas that could use improvement.

I had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel, mainly because the beach was just steps away and there were fantastic pools for the kids. The rooms were spacious, and I loved having a shower in the toilet area. However, I did face some issues with customer service that were frustrating. Overall, the value for money was decent, but some areas could use improvement.

The dining experience was a bit hit or miss. The food at the buffet was better than the a la carte options I tried, and the lengthy presentation to sell vacation properties was not something I enjoyed.

I had a unique experience at this hotel as the rooms were incredibly spacious, featuring multiple amenities like two spa tubs and kitchens, which made it feel like a luxurious home away from home. The location was great for exploring, but I did have to wait until after 5 PM for my room to be ready, which was a bit frustrating. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, with thoughtful gestures that added a personal touch to our stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was huge and had multiple amenities, but it wasn't quite as luxurious as I expected, and we had to wait until 6 for it to be ready. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond, especially Danielle, who surprised us with a cake. However, getting around the resort could be tricky because the layout was a bit confusing. Overall, it was a decent value for what we got, but there were some areas that could use improvement.

The hotel had some great amenities, like two huge spa tubs and an immense space with two living rooms, which felt like a home away from home. However, the cleanliness of the duvet and mattress cover left something to be desired, as they weren't changed after I mentioned it. The area was really quiet, which I appreciated. While the resort was spacious and relaxing, getting around could be tricky without some transport.
