wonderful family getaway

nice experiencedelicious foodexpansive poolclean facilities

Masha from the animation team. My family and i plan to return with more family members. the food was delicious and there were plenty of options, furthermore the facilities were clean and the pool was expansive. i really appreciated the management for recognizing the animation team. Their activities were great and the respect they showed was lovely.

the resort is quite large, which sometimes made navigating between different facilities a bit time-consuming, especially with children.

Rooms

The room included a comfortable queen bed, crisp clean sheets, and effective air conditioning. There was also a balcony overlooking the ocean with seating for two people. daily housekeeping kept everything immaculate. There were also two bottles of complimentary water provided each day, which i greatly appreciated.
