Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the high level of cleanliness throughout the hotel. Many appreciated the beachfront location and the variety of amenities, although some felt the food quality and variety could be improved, with several negative comments about specialty restaurants and buffet options. Bed comfort was a recurring issue, with multiple guests finding the mattresses too soft. While the atmosphere and entertainment were generally enjoyed, some guests noted that nightlife and activities ended early. Overall, the hotel is seen as offering good service and cleanliness, but could benefit from updates to rooms and improvements to food and bed comfort.

The bed was very soft but the hotel Was able to get us in a new room with a better bed. The food is great, the pool and beach staff are always asking for drink orders Which is great, and it’s a high-end luxury facility.
