hotel is very clean and well maintained. The gardens are lovely with plant markers, and we even saw bunnies at night. The boutique has reasonably priced beach clothing. Rooms are comfortable, with eco‑friendly AC that shuts off when you leave. The beach is beautiful, and refillable water stations are convenient if you bring a bottle. The resort has a warm, family‑oriented atmosphere. À la carte restaurants were full when we arrived and unable to book a restaurant. The main negative issue is staffing. The hotel appears severely understaffed in wait service and food production. Many staff seemed to be students completing apprenticeships — polite and trying hard but overwhelmed. The buffet was most affected: assigned time slots still led to food running out and the kitchen struggling to keep up.
