Although this was a large resort the beach was nearly deserted, and there were all types of huts and teepees so you could have a private area near the pool. The staff was amazing and the room was very well appointed. We had delicious meals at their restaurants, including an exceptional one at the Japanese option.

Gloria at the reception desk treated us like royalty. She appears to really like her job which was clearly demonstrated by how effortlessly she handled all of our questions and my husband’s silly dad jokes. Her friendliness and professionalism set the tone for our entire stay. Well done.

Staff service was hit and miss, we had to call the lobby numerous times for towels as they would leave 2 bath towels only, the food is over priced for the quality. And they ran out of pool towels when the resort was 1/4 full
