9/10 Wonderful! (1,987 reviews)
We had an incredible time at this resort. The location was fantastic, and I appreciated the resort’s bus service for convenient transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, I found the pool by the bar to be too deep for my liking, which prevented me from fully enjoying it. We also made some adorable cat friends, haha. I love it!
