The multiple pools were amazing and well kept. i enjoyed the convenience of a pool access room. It allowed direct entry into the water. the room had good air conditioning. the location was ideal as it was very close to many shops and only a brief walk from the beach.
the room felt a bit dark, less inviting during the day.

pool accessshort strollbristly stafflong journey
the pools were awesome! especially the ones that had pool access from the rooms. the resort was quiet without lots of rambunctious children and a short stroll got me to the beach, restaurants, bars and markets.
the resort has been open for a while and is starting to show its age already, though it seems to lure many people due to the amount of swimming pools it has, they are ok but detract from the real problems. reception staff were bristly on arrival and were not thoughtful of my long journey to get there, it was very off putting though the bellboy saved the day a little.
