Poor guest care
The accommodations were very nice. Unfortunately there were daily electricity outages. The resort made no effort for guests to be cared for during outages, which happened three times a day for a minimum of 2 hours at a time. Everything is electric. Foreigners are not accustomed to these problems and are stranded in the dark with no resources. The resort needs to find a way to care for their guests during outages.

Excellent Stay
My stay was excellent overall. The only area where I think it needs a bit of focus is the restaurant/food! That really fell below my expectations.
