Good all inclusive food and drink. Nice swimming pools. Shortage of pool chairs by the pools due to people hogging with their towels for hours while they go do other activities. The hotel should put out a few more chairs and enforce some rules, such as if you don’t use the chair for an hour your towel will be removed so another person can have a pool chair.
