I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic with easy beach access, and the pool area was enjoyable for the kids. However, the rooms were outdated and in need of attention, especially the bathrooms. The dining options were quite disappointing, and the service could have been more attentive. Overall, it's a place with potential but requires significant updates.

My stay at this resort was a bit mixed. While the overall atmosphere was charming and family-friendly with some fun amenities, there were definitely some shortcomings.
