The property is modern with all the amenities one values during vacation. Several restaurants on site, beautiful rooms, helpful and professional staff, good food options, visually appealing with lovely art work throughout, an infinity pool, and nightly entertainment. The location is across from the port, so the streets are always full of people. Taxis are plentiful and it's easy to get around. There is sometimes a language barrier however. The nearby beach is not for swimming. The closest clean water beach is about an hour away. The surrounding areas were safe but poverty is present. I loved the people, the culture and the hospitality. I would stay at this property again if I return.
