I had mixed feelings about our stay. On one hand, the beach was absolutely stunning and the landscaping was beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food has improved significantly compared to previous visits, and the staff were consistently friendly. On the downside, the room we had was quite basic and in need of updating, and the limited restaurant reservations were frustrating as we sometimes felt stuck with the buffet options.
