4/5Hotel rooms are great, staff are friendly but what the resort has to offer is lacking.
Liked: Beautiful clean room and swim up pool. Staff are nice and helpful.
Heads-up for parents: Not much going on except the water park. Very limited beachfront and lack of big pool. Breakfast restaurant is at not at the hotel location which means you have to take a shuttle there and back.
