Wonderful vacation for families with kids at all a
We had so much fun in this hotel!
We loved the water park, the pools and the beautiful beach! The water sport gear that was included in the services of the hotel was a great joy, and the food was fresh and delicious!

The pool tables are in really bad shape, on their current status you're better off playing on the ground. The staff was amazing, very kind, they made the stay wonderful. The menus on breakfast and lunch had really few options, dinner was AWESOME, we had a ton of options but breakfast and lunch not really. On this app I booked a king sinzed bed on one room and they gave me 2 beds, when I called the front desk they said they don't have king size beds on the hotel anymore, they only have 2 beds in each room. Who does that??? If I want to sleep in the same bed with my partner I should be able to!! Also on the poolside the kids games are being narrated like a football game. I want music, I don't really care who wins the kid's contest, they can play but why the need to narrate it tho. I give it a 3.5/5 honestly. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Ok stay, decent value. 2 nights was plenty
Meh- so so. The buffet was adequate, service was good, Asian hibachi disgusting.
Had a lovely view, grounds well-maintained.
Enjoyed the water slides… nice touch.
Glad the louder activities ended by 10 pm so we could get to sleep

Very good staff very attentive.
The beach and the location is amazing.
Clearly in renovation and it the only negative that it was a bit disturbing. Otherwise highly recommend.
Very kid friendly too.
