Overall a great vacation! Great location on the beach and reasonably priced. The villas were very nice with self-contained rooms. Breakfast was included and a very good buffet. Great entertainment on Sundays. Improvement areas would be the wifi, which was pretty patchy, and the hot water supply.

The beds were terrible. The beds were horrible and hurting my back. The beds have wires sticking into me and my wife’s back. These mattresses are ready for the burn pit ! Even animals should not sleep in these beds. Need to change all your mattresses to attract more clients and profits.

Good place for the price

Good place right on the beach. The rooms are in fair shape. I would stay there again because it was affordable. The restaurant was good too but they did mess up on my last order and I was not able to get my order corrected or my money back because the restaurant closed and I was leaving that morning.

We were to check in at 12pm. We arrived the facility at about 3pm. The rooms were still dirty at the time of arrival, they finally got cleaned at 5pm. The hot water was not functional. Staff attitude to work was horrible. They appeared less concerned to our plight and were very slow towards their duties.

All staff were very helpful and friendly. Food in the beach bar was tasty but unfortunately they didn’t always have everything on the menu including drinks. Rooms were cleaned daily but they need to be updated. Looking quite sorry for themselves as are the pools and outside of the buildings. There needs to be blackout blinds or curtains in the bedrooms as it’s very bright early morning. Also they need to fit shower curtains as the bathroom floor gets soaking.
