I recently stayed at this resort and had a truly memorable experience. The beach is stunning, with beautiful turquoise waters and lots of activities available. The staff was mostly friendly and welcoming, though some could be a bit more cheerful. On the downside, the rooms are quite dated and in need of some serious upgrades, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's great value for money considering the location and beach quality.
