I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the variety of activities available for families is impressive, and the resort boasts a clean private beach that is lovely for relaxation. However, the rooms leave much to be desired, with maintenance issues and cramped bathrooms. The dining options are limited, especially if you prefer exploring outside the resort, but the poolside service does offer some conveniences, like beer. Overall, this place is good for activities, but the accommodations did not meet my expectations.
