mixed feelings about the stay

overcrowded restaurantsteep hills
the all-inclusive deal, it feels kinda weak. the buffet restaurant, only one, is always too crowded and understaffed, leaving it grubby with food and dishes everywhere. getting an all-inclusive drink at a bar you actually want to sit at means hiking up some steep hills. honestly, i often just ordered drinks by the sea platform cause the cocktails were better, even though i had to pay extra.

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Staff

helpful staffspecial foodpoor coffee
The hotel staff was always willing to assist and resolve issues. I appreciated that. I became unwell, and the staff quickly arranged for a doctor. I am grateful. They also helped prepare special food.
The all-inclusive drinks at the bar tasted strongly of cough syrup. This was unfortunate. The coffee was also of very poor quality. I did not enjoy it. I wished there were more water bottles available in the rooms.
Dining
8/10
The food options included many vegetarian dishes, pasta, and grilled meat, ensuring varied choices for lunch and dinner. Breakfast also had delicious selections, like pastries and fresh fruit, but some variety might be welcome. the quality matched my expectations for the price.
Facilities
9/10
There were two distinct pools available. Plus a separate kiddie pool for families to use. I noticed the hotel also had on-site boat rentals. Guests could rent them with or without a driver, providing convenient access to watersports. the equipment seemed slightly outdated.
