This resort is a wonderful escape with beautiful beachfront views and incredibly clean facilities. The staff really made the difference, with attentive service around the pool and delicious food available. However, there were issues with room assignment and delays with maintenance that marred an otherwise enjoyable experience. Also, the beach is not suitable for swimming due to the strong waves, which might be a downside for some.

I had a fantastic stay where everything from the location to the amenities exceeded my expectations. The hotel was clean, and the service was attentive and accommodating, making it a relaxing experience. The dining options were delightful, though I found the steakhouse lacking compared to the rest. With its beautiful sunrise views and empty pool on many days, it truly felt like a serene getaway, although there were minor issues like room accessibility and cleaning efficiency.

Our stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the modern amenities and peaceful atmosphere were perfect for relaxation, especially with the stunning infinity pool views. On the other hand, the dining experience was far from impressive, particularly the quality of the food and service, which made it challenging to enjoy our meals. Overall, while the hotel offers a comfortable environment, we left feeling disappointed with the culinary aspect of our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort, with clean and spacious rooms and friendly service. The dining options were varied and high-quality, though we hoped for more local cuisine choices. The atmosphere was vibrant with great evening entertainment, but increased occupancy during the holiday season impacted service slightly. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation experience, and I would definitely return, just avoiding peak times.

I really enjoyed my stay at this resort, with clean and spacious rooms offering a lovely ocean view. The staff were genuinely friendly, and the dining options were varied. Unfortunately, the nightly entertainment was a letdown, and I did feel some disturbance at night from pool parties. Overall, it offers great value for money, but improvements could be made in evening activities.
