I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a fantastic view in the Adults-only Executive area, although the furniture seemed a bit old and used. The service was exceptional, especially from the waiters, who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, in a very quiet area but close to other nearby beaches. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety, and the names of the beach bar and a la carte restaurants slipped my mind. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy a peaceful vacation.
