My stay was a mixed bag. While the beach access was amazing and the pool bar service was enjoyable, the overall cleanliness and condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The rooms had some serious issues like size and maintenance that really negatively impacted my experience. I had hoped for more based on the price I paid.
