Staff was very friendly and service was excellent.. Breakfast selection was very good.Hotel is super clean. Rooms are huge, great beds, with a balcony. Slight damp/ musty smell in the room tho. And toilet hard to flush.Pools were clean as well and chairs were usually available. Loved the swim up bar.Beach chairs were a little harder to get and need updated. This was our second stay here. Nightly entertainment was not as good as the first stay with more kids entertainment vs dancing and professional acts.

My stayat the resort was enjoyable; however, there are a few areas that I believe require improvement. The bed in my room was quite uncomfortable, being very hard, which caused me back pain. Another issue that concerned me was the behavior of the staff. I sensed a possible bias or preference towards European guests. I raised this concern with one of the buffet managers, explaining that I felt the servers would benefit from better training. As a Latina with medium light skin, I noticed that many servers did not greet me when I was seated and waiting for service. In contrast, guests with very light skin or European appearance were immediately greeted warmly, often even embraced. I found this treatment rather discourteous. When I mentioned this to the supervisor, he responded with some skepticism, saying it was unusual and that he had never encountered such feedback before. Additionally, the buffet menu lacked variety, offering the same options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Among their restaurants, they have a Japanese establishment that, in my opinion, was quite disappointing. The chef did not appear to demonstrate much expertise. For example, the tempura dishes served to me were burnt, excessively greasy, and overly fried, leading me to advise against dining there. Nonetheless, overall, my experience was positive. The amenities were clean, and my room was tidy and comfortable. I would suggest enhancing the entertainment options and programs offered to guests to fur
