The staff was really friendly and very helpful . The hotel is large with a beautiful beach area that I enjoyed. I found the buffet in the main restaurant to be very good, I thought the food was delicious. The rooms were clean and well-kept. I really appreciated the daily cleaning service.
The Wi-Fi signal was sometimes weak in certain areas of the hotel grounds.
Rooms

The room was clean and spacious, I found it very comfortable. It included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, fantastic. I really enjoyed having a private balcony with seating.
Location
10/10
The hotel has direct access to the sandy beach, it made it very convenient. A free bus runs to town, and I found this very helpful. I liked that the hotel felt secluded but was still close to local attractions.
