The resort is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views and well-maintained areas. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing, with food that didn't sit well with us and poor drink options. The atmosphere is lively, which might appeal to younger travelers looking to party. Overall, the beauty of the resort and the good staff made up for some serious drawbacks in food and drink quality.

My stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. While the pools were enjoyable and the food at certain restaurants was delightful, I encountered several issues ranging from slow service to a very disappointing dining experience overall. The beach was not suitable for swimming, and I found the room accommodations lacking, especially considering what was promised upon booking.
