I had a wonderful stay at the resort, appreciating its clean and inviting atmosphere. The location was perfect, just a short walk to shops and dining options, making everything very convenient. I loved having access to the beach, with plenty of beach chairs and snorkel gear ready for use. However, while the recreational facilities were great, they could use a bit of updating to reach a very high standard.
