Our children loved the pools and beach. Snorkeling was great just at our lagoon. Most of the staff was friendly. They helped with ordering taxis and when we needed an extra blanket. The pool bar was nice to have and the restaurant next door is excellent! We ate there several times. Close to mambo beach and many other restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.
