    aquapark
    unresponsive staff
    mediocre meals

    The resort features an excellent aquapark for kids.

    My experience was incredibly frustrating from start to finish. The service was subpar, with unresponsive staff when I reported the broken A/C in my room. Additionally, the restaurant reservations were a nightmare as we could never book the a la carte options due to them being fully booked, leading us to endure mediocre meals instead.

    excellent cuisine
    genuine hospitality
    crowded beach
    limited breakfast options
    towel reservation issue

    The food quality was exceptional, showcasing fresh ingredients and providing varied options, including prime steaks that were a standout. The staff, from the cleaners to management, embodied genuine hospitality, making our experience delightful. However, the beach was often crowded due to towel reservations, making it difficult to find a spot. Additionally, the availability of only pre-cooked omelets limited breakfast customization, which was disappointing.

    Fun family getaway!

    We had such a blast with the kids! The aqua park was a highlight, and having so many pools to choose from was awesome. The staff were super friendly, and it felt like they genuinely cared about our experience. The food was decent, but the coffee could use some improvement. Enjoyed dining outdoors too!

    excellent food
    great water park
    packed beach

    We had an amazing family stay! The food was excellent with a great variety in the buffet and a fantastic Asian restaurant that really surprised us. The water park kept our kids entertained for hours, a true highlight! However, the beach was quite small and often packed with reserved sunbeds, which was annoying. Overall, I'd definitely choose this place again!

    stunning gardens
    spacious family room
    prompt service
    check-in confusion

    The landscaped gardens are stunning, creating a peaceful vibe throughout the resort. We enjoyed the spacious family room with a lovely view, and the aqua park was a blast for the kids. Communication via WhatsApp made requests easy, leading to prompt service most of the time.

    The check-in process could be smoother, as we faced some confusion. And while the beach area is pleasant, it’s a bit small, and some guests smoke nearby, which can be uncomfortable for families.
