GREAT BEACH, One of the most beautiful beaches and nice resort with many amenities. FOOD, A la carte restaurant food was great, breakfast and lunch just ok. DRINKS, wors drinks and liquor. NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY, although it has all the amenities for family fun, the resort is exhausting. Family rooms are far away from all services, Kid club is near the adult section, No lunch or snack bar in the family section or any were near the family pool. The resort does offer a train and try to give family priority, when it has room.
