The facilities are amazing. I only had a uncomfortable experience with one person sitting customer at the Japanese restaurant, Tuesday at 6:30pm Idk what was wrong with him. But I can say that he was not nice at all. Make us wait outside of the restaurant, then he called us to go and then he made us wait more time and he let passed 3 more persons a head of us for the same table at the same time of the reservation and they arrived after us. Lol Other than that the resort is pretty nice and the other staff members are great!

Great Hotel and Service, but Disappointing Beach The hotel itself was excellent. The property was well maintained, the staff provided outstanding service, and overall the resort experience was very enjoyable. The only downside was the beach. During my stay, there were massive amounts of seaweed washed up along the shore, which made the ocean unusable for the entire trip. While I understand this is a natural occurrence and not the hotel’s fault, I do feel guests should be advised upon arrival so expectations are clear. If the beach is not a priority for your visit, this resort is a wonderful choice. However, if ocean swimming is important, I recommend checking on seaweed conditions beforehand.
