Doesn't deserves the price. All bad experience started with the check in. We paid for ocean view room and was "upgradeed" to a room facing a wall. Pools was cold. Food was bad, one of the kids get sick. Almost impossible to book a restaurant and cooking there was bad too. Worst experience ever. Room also wi bathroom problems. Will never return to this hotel and not recommend for anyone.
