Delicious Diverse Buffet

The buffet meals were absolutely good, with an array of options that catered even to vegetarian preferences. Each dish was flavorful, and the staff ensured that we enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience.

Fantastic Pool Experience

The two swimming pools were perfectly maintained and offered a wonderful place to relax. I loved that one pool overlooked the ocean. The pool attendants were attentive and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable day by the water.

The hotel has a beautiful setting with amenities and a fantastic pool, but the dining area can feel uninviting and the food options were somewhat average. While the service was adequate, the rooms felt dated and there were some cleanliness issues that detracted from the experience.
