We had such a blast . the family room was perfect! it actually had two huge bedrooms that had a door that connected them. the pool area was amazing. It had palm trees all around, and the kids had a blast in the kiddie pool.
the hotel staff didn't seem to greet guests with much enthusiasm when i arrived. nobody offered to help with my luggage. i wish their welcome felt warmer!

friendly staff fantastic selection really good job
I found the staff consistently helpful and friendly. Breakfast included a fantastic selection of options (especially the pastries!). The whole hotel was kept clean, and the housekeeping did an really good job. I really enjoyed the large and peaceful pool area.
The hotel bar was a bit noisy at night. I could hear it from my fifth-floor room.

long queue forgotten shuttle
the breakfast situation was a real letdown. i hate it when i have to get my own coffee in a so-called luxury hotel with a queue at the machine. it's even worse when the hot food is already cold by the time i get back to my table (and the tea tasted like dishwater). also, we booked the beach shuttle, but the receptionist 'forgot'. we had to ask again after waiting a ridiculous amount of time.
