“Pretty good experience overall, but i would not repeat the vacation at the same resort. The water is always warm, the sun, palm trees and sand are all beautiful.
Most important negative is the beach which is naturally full of algae, despite the barriers and their efforts, we were still going into the water in front of the other resorts, to the left or right, because of the algae and the barriers for the algae which were like large obstacles in the way. In the promotion pictures this is not as advertised.
The room was pretty nice, but everything was barely working. The A/C worked good, but had a bad smell, the door locks, had functioning difficulties, clunky and noisy, woke us up to open a door, the jacuzzi was barely working, maybe 1 or 2 nozzles were strong enough to feel an effect, the rest were just puffed, but i was told this is normal functioning, twice.
The personnel are trying their best to accommodate you, but will also try to cheat you out of your money, every chance they get. Also, some of them, sometimes they cross the line and are also, sometimes impolite, despite always smiling and their forced (over)friendliness.
The food is good enough, but they are stingy with the good bits, which i liked (guacamole, nutella, some fruits, etc.) were available just theoretically, for about 5% of the guests, some things i never could find, or got just once, dining there twice a day, over more than ten days! It gets a bit frustrating trying to get the things they wave in front of you day after day after day, every day of your vacation, even asking for them is not working... leaves a bitter taste. Pizza, pasta, omelette and fish stands were very good almost all the time, so all good here.
The second worst negative is the fact that in every weekend, the locals were allowed into the resort for the weekend. the atmosphere takes a turn for the worst, and that is to say the least.”

“Resort muito bonito e de tamanho mais pequeno que os restantes, o que torna o ambiente mais agradável, com menos pessoas e portanto menos confusão, no entanto existe muita desorganização no buffet, com muita demora na reposição de mesas limpas, bebidas entregues com muita demora, simpatia dos funcionários muito aquém do que estamos habituados neste país, qualidade e diversidade das comidas podia ser melhor, perto da hora de fim das refeições ou mesmo durante, não repoem a comida, as sobremesas são fracas, qualidade e apresentação da fruta é fraca, a limpeza dos pratos e talheres é muito má. Em relação aos espaços, as piscinas têm água muito turva, tem muitas espreguiçadeiras partidas e não substituiem, não há guarda-sóis para todas as pessoas, a lavagem dos copos de plástico no bar na piscina e deplorável!! Os espaços verdes são muito bonitos com constante manutenção. Os quartos são bons com boas camas e espaçosas embora a manutenção de alguns aspectos na casa de banho e porta da varanda seja mesmo só para desenrascar. Os espectáculos da noite são agradáveis, sendo o melhor deles todos o de tributo ao Michael Jackson. Lobby bonito e espaçoso. 5 restaurantes temáticos sem limite de utilização, sendo a entrada por ordem de chegada, convém chegar cedo. Tem salão de jogos com bolling e snooker.”
