We had an unforgettable trip with our family at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. However, the dining options were somewhat limited and not as varied as we hoped, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a great place for family getaways with a few areas for improvement.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this resort! The staff truly made my stay memorable, especially Chris and Frida who encouraged me to join in on activities and connect with others. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the convenience of the shuttle service between the resorts was a big plus. While my overall stay was amazing, I did find the drink quality to be a letdown, and the competition for beach cabanas could be a bit frustrating. Overall, it's a wonderful place with great staff and lovely amenities!
