We enjoyed our stay with great food options for everyone, fantastic pool amenities, and a fun atmosphere provided by the entertainment team. However, it was disappointing that on our second visit, the service did not match our previous experience, and we encountered issues with room readiness. Overall, it's a place we might recommend, but with some concerns this time around.

The hotel was clean and well-staffed, with a good housekeeping team and well-maintained facilities. However, the strict rules and lack of entertainment options for families made our stay less enjoyable. The location was decent, but the dining experience left a lot to be desired, especially for children. I felt the overall experience did not justify the cost.

We had a fantastic time at the hotel with our kids. The location was perfect, right across from the beach, and the friendly staff did their best to ensure we had everything we needed. The smaller pool was great for our family, and we enjoyed the diverse food options at the buffet. However, we had a concerning incident with security and found some areas in need of better cleaning. Overall, it was a fun family getaway but had some issues.
