The beach is beautiful and the staff super friendly. We had an issue with ants in our room when we got there, but we moved to a non balcony room and were good then. The food was not the greatest, but we found things after the first day that we liked. Breakfast was awesome and it was nice not booking dinner reservations, but the trade off is a lot of buffets. For the price, it was a great decision to stay here and I’d go back. As I told my friends, the place kind of grew on me after the second day. I am used to more upscale resorts and better food options. But this fit our needs for the price.

The 4 restaurants are poor in menu, the entrée are only buffet… not gastronomic. the security on the beach is absent, you get stolen stuff from people walking around. The sea activity: the staff are not employes of the hotel... you have to be careful . the alcohol is very basic... sheep alcohol. Entertainment is very poor in creativity, they use the guess to doo activity and there entertainment are people how sing… very boring.

Loved the little gal that runs around getting everyone excited about the activities, I believe her name is Katiyna. The buffet food is average, but enjoyed the sit down restaurants very good food in all of them, the only one we didnt try was the Japanese one. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
