I liked breakfast, dinner was good. We had adequate water for drinking in the room.I also liked service at the swimming pool. I did not like the bed and the bedsheets. There were inordinate delays in room cleaning.

Best vacation EVER!... Where do I begin... This resort far exceeded our expectations, in so many ways... We looked forward to each and every day that we were there, and we really hated to leave... First and foremost, the staff was excellent... The food 😋 was soo good... All three meals were buffet style and each meal had so many choices... There were mini bars throughout the resort, to include being served on the beach... Lastly, but certainly not the least, were the beautiful monkeys, who were so gentle... We can't wait to return next vacation, and we will definitely stay much longer... Thanks for the opportunity to share...

The ambience of the hotel does it for itself. It's in a great location. There are so many places within the property where couples can feel cozy. There are ample seating areas. The friendly staff sets this place apart. There is a mixture of young people on the staff and seasoned employees. You can feel relaxed while there. If you decide to hit the beach, expect to be solicited to purchase items by the locals. There is a private area provided by the property where you wine be disturbed. All of the meals are top notch. I also trust the management here. There was a slight issue but they made sure I was taken care of and accommodated.

Staff exceptionally nice and friendly, but there was a water problem that lasted for 24 hours and communication was so bad about it, there was no running water at the batthroom which made it hard to stay at the room with no shower and no flushing water for toilet. the communication from management was so bad and didnt know how to handle this issue. despite that the condition of the bathroom itself was so bad.
