We loved staying here. We have a young family and it had all the facilities we needed - beautiful pools, beach, amazing buffet options. Also, the staff couldn’t be more helpful when it came to organising trips.

La la land
The hotel is dated and in dire need of renovation. Service is poor. The room rate and f&b are very overpriced. We had a really underwhelming trip and expected a lot better for the amount of money we spent.
