This resort is amazing, I have a child with specific and serious dietary requirements and the people in charge at the buffet breakfast were very accommodating and took my concerns seriously. There was a gluten free setup / area and you can request specific requirements as the chefs cook certain meals. Joanne the team leader during breakfast assured that my son was safe and remembered us every morning. She was kind and understanding. Kendal the manager at the buffet in the evening was also amazing and kind. Everything is this resort is high quality. we loved the pool and the open bar during our stay. Many activities for children (kids club etc, play areas). we full recommend this exceptional and beautiful place for families.
