The lady at the reception was very nice and hospitable. We didn’t receive a VIP Access benefit, at least not what we thought we would have received from our experience at other resorts and hotels. We did receive a bottle of wine, wasn’t sure if that came standard with every room, but when I asked about room upgrade, pretty much every room was standard, and the same as the others. The food was really good at the restaurant.

What you see is not what you get
I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The Wi-Fi was down the entire night, which was incredibly frustrating. Additionally, the linens had black spots on them, which was quite off-putting. The room also had an unpleasant smell, as if it hadn't been used in a long time. It felt like I was the first person to stay there after a long period of disuse. Overall, I was disappointed with my experience and would not recommend this hotel.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Check in was very smooth and their direction to our room was very clear. The property has boom gates with security so it was very safe and inviting. It was also very close to the beach. The room was okay...simply okay. The bathroom shower was massive, but the shower didn't drain, so you are standing in others dirty water. The toilet upstairs in the loft was broken. I don't mean it didn't flush, I mean the flush arm was broken (something cleaning staff should have easily found and fixed). The place is pretty outdated, but for the price isn't bad. The sleeping arrangement was quite strange with 2 double beds down stairs and 2 singles in the loft. Meaning there is absolutely zero privacy for a married couple who are traveling with kids. All in all the place was okay, but hardly a "Resort".

Awesome spot for a family - kid friendly! Spacious interiors, clean environment. All crockery and utensils available . I guess my only recommendation is to replace the toilet unit which seems to be decades old, seat loose and rust build up on the base, and in the kitchenette perhaps a extra work top counter for meal prep. Found room 36 not to have any space to work on . But overall I will recommend the resort for family or couple stay overs. Resturant’s delightful, chilled and relaxing environment!
