I had a good stay at the resort, which is really close to the beach and a nice spot for families. My room had a great view and was modern enough, although the bathroom did have some mould. The service needs improvement since I experienced a long wait at check-in. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are areas that could use some attention.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was absolutely stunning and the room was spacious, but there were a few issues that really impacted my stay. While the staff was generally helpful, some aspects of the room felt dated, and I was disappointed by the timeshare pitch that disrupted what could have been a more relaxing vacation.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the beach views were stunning and my one-bedroom suite was well-positioned near the water, the room itself felt dark and dated, which was disappointing. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the initial check-in process was quite chaotic. Overall, I enjoyed the location and facilities, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a stay that had an excellent location and a spacious apartment layout, but it was disappointing because the room itself was quite dated and not well-maintained. The hotel had lovely clean pools, which added to the experience, but the amenities in our apartment left a lot to be desired, especially for the price we paid.

Rooms
5.0
The apartment was spacious but felt very tired and dated, with scuffed walls and dirty window furnishings. The carpet needed replacing, and the master suite's shower had mould issues. Overall, it could have been more comfortable and updated.
Service

The reception staff were helpful, but the maintenance of the facilities could have been better, with one lift out of service during our entire stay. The daily calls to attend a seminar were quite irritating.

The pool areas were lovely and clean, but the overall maintenance of common areas could be improved. It needs to be serviced more frequently, especially for a higher price point.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location is stunning right on the waterfront, and my room was spacious, practically a suite with a kitchen. However, the atmosphere felt a bit too much like a holiday camp, especially with many kids running around during school holidays. Dining was decent but limited in options around the area, and I faced issues with room service during my stay.

Rooms
9.0
The room was very spacious, essentially like a suite with a separate bedroom and kitchen facilities, which I loved.
Service

The service was generally good, but I was disappointed that my room wasn't serviced daily, and I had to request basic items like toilet paper.
Location

The location is fantastic, right on the beach, which allowed for some beautiful morning walks and quick access to the water.
Dining

The restaurant had good service and food, but the variety was limited, and options around the area were few, especially during off hours.
Facilities

The indoor pool and fitness area were nice, but the view from my balcony was not appealing due to a large concrete roof.
