The location is awesome! I adore tropical plants, the territory and our balcony with amazing view! The beach is not long, you need to take an elevator to get there, however it is not an issue at all)) There is a beautiful bridge to the elevator and you can enjoy the fantastic view from the height! The water was warm and shallow, the sand is golden, there are palm trees and all equipment to make your rest unforgettable! We like everything!

In general is was a fine hotel with mostly pleasant staff. During my stay the there was only 1 buffet and 1 restaurant operating on any given day. The restaurant required a prior reservation for dinner. The buffet was OK though the prepared foods on the service trays were luke warm. Dining at a restaurant or drinking from the bar required you to pay attention to the menu as only items with an asterisk were included in the AI. Top shelf liquors were not included. During the day only the beach and pool bars were open, in the evening only the lobby bar was open. The rooms were comfortable and clean. It was very quiet and subdued there. If your looking for activities to keep you entertained this may not be the correct venue. The room had a supposed stocked fridge but there were only two cans of local beer and 3 bottles of pop and a cold water. The coffee maker and local coffee was good, though I had to request a top up when things ran out. There were no snacks in the room.

Very relaxing. Quiet space available. Buffet dining excellent with different theme every night. Accommodations were 5 star. Staff were pleasant and helpful beyond expectations. Wasn't overly impressed with a la carte dinning facilities. We much preferred the resort when it was Adult only, not suited for children.. Would highly recommend this resort and we will definitely return in the future.
