mixed feelings about this resort. it had some real issues

slow bar servicelong wait
I found several aspects of my stay less than ideal. the first issue i noticed was at check-in. My room wasn't ready at the specified time. i had to wait several hours. also, the bar service was surprisingly slow. It took a very long time to get a drink. i suspect they might have been short-staffed or the staff needed more training.

fair stay with some limitations

organized tripsgreat facilitiessunset bargood restaurantmisleading informationlimited options
the resort organized trips directly (i thought that was great). the facilities were good. i enjoyed the pool. the sunset bar and restaurants met my needs.
the website presented misleading information. it advertised four restaurants and bars. only some were open. this limited dinner options (that disappointed me). the hotel needs more staff.

decent stay, some issues

undertrained stafffood quality
the service was not great overall. staff seemed undertrained. it took excessive time to get simple requests fulfilled, like extra towels. also, the food at the bistro was disappointing. it lacked variety and felt overpriced for the quality. i think they really need to work on staff training and improve the food quality.
