High quality resort with courteous staff and service. Food is good with plenty of options in the buffet and cuisine specific restaurants within resort. One area that can be improved upon is the amount of seaweed on the beach. It does ruin the experience of walking on beach or dipping your feet

The rooms were very clean. Decently modern but was advised they are renovating may 2026. The only thing that I found a little annoying was that to get to the main buffet if you’re on the one side, you certainly have to zigzag your way over to it. There’s no direct path. I don’t know if that’s gonna change with the renovations, but I did find getting to all the restaurants you had to walk a lot.

Room was good the food was good staff was very good. Negatives for me were all bar stools have no high backs and n lounges were a bit uncomfortable and the monkeys we thought we would see around the resort were caged up nothing loose around the resort. Also the sports bar was closed during our stay however the beach and food made our stay worthwhile
