Our stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the amenities and entertainment options were a hit, especially the movie nights by the pool and fire dancers. On the downside, we found the prices for food and beach rentals to be steep, and our room was unfortunately not as clean as we had hoped. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

Rooms
5.0
The room had a large fridge and microwave, but the floors were not clean and the air conditioning was quite loud.
Service
6.0
Though the staff did let us check in early and were generally helpful, I can't overlook the miscommunication regarding our reservation.
Location
6.0
The location is fine, with easy access to the beach, but the construction noise was a major downside during our stay.
Dining
5.0
Food prices were exorbitant, especially the breakfast buffet, which felt overpriced for what was offered.
Facilities
7.0
The pool area and splash park were nice, but the overall maintenance could use some attention.
