    wellness centre access
    poor room service
    disappointing all-inclusive dining

    The resort offers access to a wellness centre with complimentary facilities.

    It often took 45 minutes just to get drinks delivered, and the fridge in our room was not sufficiently stocked for three guests. The quality of all-inclusive dining was disappointing, especially when the paid options were much better.

    disappointing buffet

    Amazing views and a lovely pool area

    We had a fantastic 7-night stay with a Classic Room Sea View that offered amazing ocean sights. The hotel staff, particularly the pool guy who was always eager to ensure we had everything we needed. The dining service at the main buffet was a bit slow, which could use some improvement.

    very nice spa
    poor air conditioning
    sleepless nights

    Chur, the spa was very nice, but the air conditioning never dropped below 23 degrees-pretty rough for a sleepless night! We had a great time though!
