We had a lovely stay. Location is stunning. The room was clean however a little tired looking and we had to have maintenance fix a few things during our stay. The breakfasts were great lots of variety. Would have liked to do more dinners but the nightly buffets were too expensive for a family. All in all we would still recommend this resort to others, a wonderful tropical getaway.
