My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the beach was a definite highlight, serene and clean, I was disappointed with some other aspects. The service left a lot to be desired, with outdated rooms and unwelcoming responses from staff. Dining options were quite lacking and didn't meet expectations. Overall, it felt like the hotel could use an overhaul to enhance the experience.

I had an enjoyable family stay at this resort. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, with effective air conditioning, and the pool areas were relaxing with plenty of space for everyone. The location next to the beach allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunsets, but there were some minor challenges with parking and slow check-in that could be improved.

We had a nice family vacation overall, although the hotel's price felt a bit high and the smoking situation was quite frustrating. The pools were excellent, and the spacious rooms added to our comfort. Despite the beautiful environment, the smoking issue definitely detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.
