decent stay, some issues surfaced
unmonitored beach area deep pool
The hotel advertises an adults-only area on the beach. it was not monitored at all. families with children freely used it. Staff did little to enforce the rule, even after i reported it. there were so many kids near an 'adults only' section. the main swimming pool was also too deep. I am 5'6 and could barely stand in most areas. it made it hard to relax or supervise others.

repetitive buffet difficult bookings
I was a bit disappointed . the buffet options felt very repetitive. i was hoping for more variety, especially with local dishes. the al la carte restaurants were tough to book too. I tried the app, but everything was always full!! the pool got quite crowded, and it was hard to find a lounger at times.
